    Trimming the roots caused this issue. Likely, the portions of the root (the tip) that take nutrients and water up have all been destroyed. Some plants can recover quickly, but this one will not tolerate root pruning in this fashion.

    From here, it will be a race. If the plant can regrow some roots before it dies, completely, then there is a chance that you may save it.

    In the future you will want to repot very carefully. Try not to disturb the roots unless you want to divide them up. Even then, be sure to keep them intact while dividing.

    It may have been pot bound so what you did was the right thing and should help. Keep them watered and provide bright but indirect light.

    It, definitely, needs to be repotted! I think that doing so and treating with a fungicide will take care of the issue. Just be sure to give it the best care, possible, and take care not to overwater:

    It's best not to use garden soil on your houseplants. There are too many organisms in garden soil.

    I would repot the plant since you think it's been overwatered. There could be root rot setting in. Wash out the container real well and use fresh potting mix. Check the roots and cut off any brown or black roots or anything mushy. Also the container shouldn't be more than one to two inches wider than the previous pot. Moving to a too-large pot can cause the plant to be overwatered. Here is how to repot:
