The Basjoo looks to be slowly drying out from the top down. I took it out of the sunny window and placed it where it would get less intense sunshine. That doesn't seem to be helping.

I would love to hear suggestions from the experienced growers here on how I should proceed.

Thanks in advance.

Many times plants will pull back to the soil level over the winter this might be the case.

If you do not see any activity pull the plant and inspect it.
