I tend to agree with SouthPark on this. When a plant is in trouble, I do not care if you are in Alaska, you need to unpot the plant and see what is going on.

You used too large a pot (over potted) for your division in the first place. Remove the plant and carefully remove any rotten roots. then CAREFULLY coil the remaining roots into a pot just large enough to hold the existing growth and a new growth. Fill with fresh mix which has smaller bark and some perlite. Use a skewer to hold growth in place if necessary.

Your plant will need time to develop new roots from the existing growth but more likely, a new growth. It needs time at this point but may not show much growth until next spring.
