It does have variegated leaves - Green and Silver/White. But the yellowing is not common. I removed most of the yellowed leaves, which is why the yellow leaves are not visible here.

Immediately after submitting my above post, i watched 2-3 videos on how to clear root bound and decideded to clear my root bounds as well the similar way. It had not been more than an hour since i had potted it, so i guess this would do the minimum damage.

Being a first timer, i tried sorting it out, not sure it will prove beneficial to the plant, or i caused more damage... Only time can come to tell..

Does it look like i did more damage to roots rather than clearing root bound?

1 - The roots after i removed from the pot again
2 - My attempt to clear root bound
3 - Potting back again - put this much soil in base before placing plant
4 - Potting again 2nd time. Hope its done all good and neat. Putting soil on side gap seemed tricky.
5 - Roots lost during the process.

All i have to do now, is keep it in the same place. And water properly - which is possible now because its in a correct size pot..
