I agree. It looks like it was allowed to get too wet and was probably still too wet when the picture was taken. You probably have a pretty good idea of whether of not you allowed it to get too fry or not, but usually a plant allowed to get too dry shows significant spoilage of the foliage or it perks right up within minutes of being watered.

Plants prefer damp, not wet or soggy. If you are worried about over-watering, you can always add a wick through the drain hole that dangles below the pot. This 'fools' water into behaving as though the pot is deeper than it is. The water moves down the wick 'looking' for what it 'thinks' is the pot bottom and gets pushed off by more water moving down the wick behind it.
