Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Not sure of its name - but I need some advice!, 1 by travbeav

I purchased a tropical plant at the local grocery store and it was very healthy looking. I noticed that the soil was very dry, and that it was potbound, so i transplanted it into 2 bags worth of Miracle Gro Moisture Control potting soil mix. I then watered it with about 1 small pot of water.

2 weeks have passed, and several of the lower leaves are turning brown on the tips, then brown all over, then turning dry and crunchy. The soil is still moist to the touch, and I drained excess out of the saucer a week ago.

This picture shows the whole plant - note the very wilted leaf on the lower left.
My next message will show a close up of the damage.

I have not watered it since, thinking it may be too moist.....I hope it's not the soil itself though!
