Re: I'm back

Cutting all those roots is why it hasn't been growing and is acting moody for you. That's a major shock to the system. She'll recover and perk up for you, just give her some time to adjust.

Next time you do something like that you might try wetting and then massaging the root ball if you need to make it fit something it doesn't want to go into. Also, there's a few things you can to do minimize shock if you have to hack up a plant. I've used Revive to minimize stress before and it seems to work really well.
