Indoors avocado suddenly dying!

[Leavesandlight]

Hi everyone! I have an avocado tree that I started from a pit a year ago. It was doing very well but in the past three days the leaves started going yellow and looking lifeless and today the whole tree is drooping! I water it once or twice a week, when the top layer of soil dries. It's on the dry side at the moment, but I'm not watering it in case it's got wet feet. The tree sits on a windowsill with plenty of light above a radiator. I moved it there four weeks ago and it had a growth spurt. It grew new leaves and it shot up. It's in a small pot, could this be the problem? It's declining SO quickly! Can you help please?

I believe it is root bound. A rootbound plant is difficult to water properly because the roots are basically in a tight ball. Nutrition i.e. the yellowing leaves is also associated with being root bound. Repot into a larger container ASAP
