Ah, this is much more helpful! Yes, it looks like the there was some dieback or even rot on the bottom of the plant. Was it buried or do you think there was simply too much moisture around the roots?
Yep, that's definitely the take home message!

Yes, cut the spike close to the plant. The plant will have to build a root system back!

Definitely a good looking plant!

omgosh I wrote a long reply to this and apparently not being logged in and made it disappear I’ll try to read it again later.
rather, i’ll try to keep going now using a microphone dictation I guess you call it:
to the question about was it buried or just too much moisture:
Both. It was partially buried. And this is where I had a long response about new media and I think the new media stunk, etc etc. wow. i’m never going to get as good as a reply as I had just written. Moving on
as far as the hydrogen peroxide my reading of what I quoted was maybe it helps maybe it doesn’t. And then I wrote about how I know about pooling or standing water on the plant or on any plant that’s super evil and I had another great paragraph there that I’m not gonna be able to repeat here. Moving on
As far as what I’m going to do now… I may just let her go… If the spike starts to die back on its own and maybe I’ll do something else. And another paragraph that I can’t repeat.
i’m sorry but the above is not at all representative of what I had written, ouch. there were pertinent details in each category. Par for bad day! ending a bad week!
ps. heat, i think is some weird way the difference, or that, the medium isn’t drying out like it used to. that’s mostly what happened, i bed. slightly cool makes it retain moisture far/exponentially longer. …anyone got the math in that?
thanks,
