Slip it out of the container and look over the root mass and rhizomes.
Healthy roots are pearly white, sick ones are brown
My guess is you have a muck soil which tends to go anaerobic which is
unhealthy for roots.
Sharp sand or pearlite will loosen that up.
Repotting might be as easy as dunking the root mass in a tub and
wa****ng free as much of the old soil and making a slurry of new soil to
replace it.
