And this is how it looks now.
Do you think I might have overdone it? We shall soon see - it's kill or cure, once more.
The idea is to get more new shoots to spring up from the base.
What I have actually done is trimmed off the outside roots and the root base to sink the plant nearly 5 cm (2 inches) deeper into its pot, then covered the surface and sides with new compost.
P.S. As insurance, I've taken lots of cuttings.
