I repotted two swiss cheese plants into one large pot a few weeks ago. Since then the plant has been very droopy and some of the lower leves have started to turn yellow and die. Before it was repotted it had begun to grown some new leaves. Now these leaves have turned brown and statred to die.

When i took then two existing pants out of the pot i discovered it was in fact about seven seperate plants bound withs a mass of intertwined roots. My dad helped me repot the plant and I fear he was a little rough with seperating the roots of the plants. To help the plants stand up we also potted them much deeper in the soil than they had been previously.

Both theses plants had been repotted previously and fared fine. I'm sure the problem is something I have done. But I don't want to interfear with it and risk upsetting it any more until I have an idea of what might help! I have attached a picture.

Many thanks for you help.
