One week update. I took off all the yellow leaves that I could see from the porch. Left the lighter leaves that weren't observable from there to see what would happen. So far the yellowish leaves are greening up, the soil is dry down to about 7-8". The stems feel firm, not squooshy. The tips of some of the leaves are browning up - is that part of the overwatering, or something else to deal with?
My watering plan is to stop using the hose altogether and water this thing from a pitcher (2 litre). A soon as any water appears at the new holes I'll stop watering at once. Then wait for it to dry out again. It seems to enjoy its current dry status - there's no drooping or wilted looking places:
Can't complain too loud about how the ball bounces when I'm the one who dropped it.
