This one is at 10 weeks now... I don't think that it is rotting or dead... The pseudostem is still firm... Almost as firm as it was the day it arrived...

This makes me think that the corm and the roots are still doing their thing... I was just hoping for at least one new leaf before I brought her inside for the winter...

I chopped about 4 inches of the top after my post a few hours ago... I found a new cigar there... I am still very hopeful...
