It sounds like they are a bit too moist. They need to dry out between waterings. In fact, they prefer dryer soils once they are mature.
Be sure to let them dry out a little between watering, and treat with a fungicide.

It looks like you are using topsoil in your container. This doesn’t work well for many plants; consequently, potting mix (no soil included) leads to much better growth.
