Default Re: how many layers are too many to peel off a rotten pstem?

I say you never know. Looking at yours I would have most likely cut it down also. I have had some that I figured no way they make it and they fix themselves and take off. Then I have also had full sized Pstems just stop growing and divert energy to pups for no real reason. I have found about all you can do is cut back watering and let them sort it out. If it is minor rot then I would cut early and get it all. You did about all you could do. The pup will replace the main Pstem fast.
