Well, the plant does seem to thrive. I have only had for a month or so and it's still a very small plant.
The other picture shows how I collect rainwater. Maybe it is too unsafe a method to use since organic stuff can fall in the can and make the water bad. A full can like that does take me a couple of weeks to use.

A few of my other plants, three in total, has got the same symptoms as this one. I just find it hard to believe I should have overwatered three plants. I can't remember when I since did something like that. It also happened a week after I started with rainwater. And now I can see a few leafes and sticks in the bottom of the can.

Maybe I should get some kinda mesh to attach ontop of the hole of the can so that stuff can not get in.

Oh, and from now on I will water the plant over the sink.
