A couple of tings you need to check….

Knock the plant out of its container and check that it isn’t waterlogged;

While it is out of its pot check to see if there are some white roots in the soil;

It is also worthwhile having a look to see if there are any grubs in the soil.

If the soil is heavy with water the rootball can be placed on some absorbent paper or newspaper (out of the pot) for a day or so to remove some of the excess.

Should there be no sign of white roots I would suggest that you remove some of the old root material and repot into a smaller size pot adding some new soil.

If there are any signs of grubs these can be removed and the above carried out.

There are some instances where the soil builds up with toxins and trace elements released when being fertilized. There is a maxim that you do not feed plants that aren’t doing to well. The analogy being that if you were under the weather you wouldn’t want a big meal and the plants cannot use the food being supplied.

So I would suggest afetr the above are checked that you water sparingly with the filtered water until the plant recovers. The down side is that the plant may get worse before it gets better, just be patient and continue with the TLC.
