Don't be so hard on yourself. While seds can be easy, they aren't always! I have two minmaru shima, one seems to want death whilst the other beams up at me every time I go in to my grow area as if to say it is hapy to be in my collection, and would you please water me as I'd like to grow more leaves before winter. Seriously, there is no rhyme or reason. Honestly, it's a little obnoxious.
I also have two minmaru, one is a robust grower and the other, not as much... they all have differences, just like us human caretakers do.
Jeremiah's recommendations are great- and that is what works for him. I am going to guess, however, that you'll need to take your next minmaru and take it slow. If anything, keep it on the dry side. Thirsty roots can be recovered, rotted ones cannot.
Just throwing that out there.
