Little curly bushy plants need a little help :)
Actually, Nitrogen deficiency can cause the tips of the leaves to curl downwards, and judging from the slight yellowing you had leads me to think that this may have been the cause. I've read that Sulfur deficiency can also cause similar symptoms, but that's much less common than a N-def.

Plants respond really well to an implemented schedule, and can sometimes get stressed from irregular feedings.
Glad you repotted, too. Rootbound plants will generally show a whole mess of symptoms, leading the grower to add all sorts of excess nutrients that aren't necessary. Give it a week or two after the repot, and see how things progress.
Take care. :jointsmile:
