I'm not used to house plants and I foolishly kept this plant in a spot that was far too dark for what it prefers. The result was the root system rotted out and the top was so heavy that I couldn't keep it potted without it falling over. I lack houseplant/tropical plant maintenance but I know that when all else fails you cut the plant back to the ground and try again so that's exactly what I did. I cut it back to the ground and repotted it making sure that the soil was nice and loose for the new root system I was trying to promote. A few stalks that I cut back might stay short forever but you can see I've got two new sections of growth! Hopefully in a few months it will have a nice course root system and I can move it to a bigger pot. Will post more soon!
