Re: New Ladyfinger and Ice Cream pups!!
I don't know if its your camera or the actual plant being brown above where it was crushed, but if it is indeed brown now, you can whack it off from that point where it was crushed. The reason is that you want to leave the green so that the plant can still utilize any chlorophyll in the tissues to produce food. When it goes brown, you can whack it off - that'll make it look better and it'll allow the new growth th emerge unobstructed.
Just take a scissor or some drywall knife, fiberglass knife, machete, etc., and make a nice clean cut. A few days later, give or take, and you'll see a new roller come up from where you cut it. That first new leaf might be missing a tip, but all in all the plant will recover just fine and start looking prettier in no time.
