Because it'd been watered before taking the pic. Since he is outdoors all day long, the soil gets moist by every evening, so I have to water it daily, but I
always wait until the upper layer seems to be near to dry.

The next time you use polystyrene (styrofoam), you might want to try to cut it into much tinier pieces. And be sure to use at _least_ 50% by volume of the finely chopped styrofoam when mixing it with 50% or less sphagnum peat moss.
It's 50-50%, and man, I'm not a goldsmith.
I've made it with a grater, so most of the pieces in the soil are smaller, the suface is decieving, I just added a bit more, larger grains.

Less water, fresh air movement, and plenty of sunlight will very probably help, but the main thing (in my opinion) is to keep the growing medium less wet.
Yep, thank you! I'll try, but the soil gets very wet at watering, I can't avoid this.
And thanks for all your answers!
