Thanks, Steven, I'm glad I persuaded you to come out and post. You've got some of the most beautiful plants in your gallery here and more people should see what you've got.

I'll probably cut off the oldest leaf, but the youngest leaf doesn't look too bad. One thing I've found in some cases is that if all the leaves die it would be best just to cut off the pseudostem to the ground as it ends up getting dry and new leaves have a hard time emergying and sometimes end up coming out of the soil instead after being held back.

One point about watering. I don't know that any plant can have too much water other than the lack of oxygen. In other words, the problem is more the lack of oxygen than the abundance of water. Otherwise, hydroponics just would not work. I still am going to be careful to avoid watering heavily (this plant has not received any additional water since it was first planted), but the aeration does give it a lot of extra "insurance".

Thanks again,

Harvey
