***March 2014 Update***

I have another question if anyone is able to help me. Same plant, but I now live in Virginia, zone 8a. I transplanted it into a larger container last year and it was originally doing well. Lately, the leaves started to turn a light green and then yellow, especially around the tips. Some of them are even turning brown by the tips as well (pictured).

I use a moisture meter and the soil almost always measures as being dry, even though it feels wet. The plant is so much heavier than all of my other plants in similar containers, but they will measure as being wet shortly after watering, whereas this will not. I fear that I am in danger of losing my little friend if I don't do something soon. What should I do?

Part of me wonders if I should pop it out of its container and inspect the root ball. Bad idea? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
