Maybe several plants potted together. Unpot and check for air
pockets/soil voids which allow water to run through without soaking in.

Remove all soil from roots and carefully repot. Use something like a
chopstick to get the soil to fill in around the roots.

Plastic pot is ok. If you want to keep the ceramic put it in a deep
saucer and give extra water on Friday, leave the saucer full, the Spath
won't mind
