Also, it is best to leave just one central leader on the plant rather than multiple trunks.

    Yes, I would remove the plant and clean the soil and roots.
    Do this in the coolest part of the day, in the shade to avoid stressing the plant as much as possible.

    Replace with good quality potting mix.

    This could also be a seasonal change due to changing temperatures. If the color is more purple than brown, it could be a phosphorus deficiency.
