Now that makes sense, I think your sphagnum moss is very wet. So your plant is overwatered. Dunking root zone works good if media is bark mix, it drains fast..with sphagnum, it will absorb more, stay wet more, and you said some water also got into the crown..all the more too wet.

You may want to consider changing your media to bark mix. It will also help your plant dry out from being too overwatered.

And run your ceiling fan right after watering, to help with air circulation too.
