my plants were not that happy over the winter
they grew a little bit when they first came inside but they
spent most of the winter dormant
when i brought them upstairs and outside i noticed one of them
my second oldest/second biggest
had some rot at the base of the pstem
i peeled back layers until there was no more rot which left it pretty thin
looked for some info on the forum... and decided to leave it as is and
see what happens
my mom saw the plant listing to the side and propped it up a bit
wind caused the plant to kink a bit where it was supported so i put in
a longer support... this pic was taken after.. i propped it back up to
show how it looked
unfortunately i did not secure it very well
wind knocked it down overnight
the pup seen in the earlier photos had suffered the same fate
i could see a leaf trying to poke through the side near the base so i cut it down
anyhow this is what it looks like now
so what do you think?
if i had supported it better do you think i could have saved the pstem height?
maybe 3 long stakes all tied up near the top of the pstem?
