Re: rotting already
I remember reading something that I believe was from pitangdiego about browing or rotting of the pstems. It must be removed or it will spread. I would therefore deduce that this should be incrementally cut off until you eliminate the rot and see green tissue in the core of the pstems. I would further try to prevent further rot by dusting the fresh cuts with cinnamon, a natural fungicide.
I am certain that there are other products that work on rot, too, but this one I know has no toxicity.
Best of luck!
