THANK YOU for your replies!!

Yes, the pot has a drainage hole, but it is a very tall pot (like 18 inches) and I just used regular potting soil- should I have mixed in perlite or something else to help with drainage?

It was struggling before repotting, and I have scaled waaaaaay back on the watering. But I just read elsewhere that once a plant is overwatered, if root rot develops its very hard for the plant to spring back.

The questions is now... Do I take it out of the pot to look at the roots and see what the heck is going on down there?... another post said to wash the roots, cut off any dead/rotting bits, and dip in fungicide just in case it's fungal, wash/sanitize the pot well and give it new soil.... Gosh, that sound like a big ordeal, will that just stress it out even more?

What would you do?

Thank you again for the advice. super appreciated. Thank You!
