Root/media issues

I noticed that some of my roots are not doing to great and the medium is "settling", causing bad spots/rot in these areas. I've never had this happen before. I use Aussie Mix with added coco husk chips. I was thrown for a loop and can't figure out what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that the little 2" pot is tall and not short.

Any one else have this situation come about?

I have trimmed the roots and repotted today into bark/perlite/charcoal with hydroton on bottom. Something more free draining, but will just have to water more often.
