If you can put yourself on tree time & be patient, we can develop a long-term plan that will get your plant healthy again, AND allow you to make some new starts. How about showing me a picture of the pot so I can get an idea of its size, and a close-up of the soil surface?

Do you have access to fine pine bark there (dust to 10mm), or fine pumice/calcined DE/calcined clay that's around 3-4mm? I'm trying to see what sort of larger particulates you have that you can use to make a soil that is well-aerated & drains freely, which will make your efforts MUCH more productive.
