I feel that the plant showed some improvement after watering once I repotted (at least until a large limb fell off). After that slight improvement it has been holding its current condition. When I repotted, what I found was that the outer soil was moist but not soggy and the rootball itself was completely dry. The soil was too hard to allow water to pass. My assumption was that this caused the plants decline, but my inexperience makes me wonder if it is going to regain its health. If the soil currently looks too dry, should I be watering more frequently?
