Thanks guys, Jons pics look like my stem - not as brown & lower. I took it out of pot & roots look OK except a couple short rotted ones I cut off. I think problem was the soil on bottom was too moist & compacted. I cut a 2 ft pup off (it was fine) & put a bunch of perlite & vermiculite & mixed it in same soil. I'll wait & see.

Bob, I'm leaving to ship your little pkg out. I'll pm you.
