![]() Hello everyone!
![]() I'm back after such a long time, more than 3 years. Anyway I have had a super dwarf Cavendish plant for about 2 years and it was in a large container. Unfortunately somehow it seems like it's dead . I'm not sure if it was due to cold weather or under watering . I really care about this plant and I would love to see if it's possible it can survive. I recently found out that it had a sprout and it seems like it's the only thing alive. I want to do anything to make sure it survives. Please any advice would be appreciated . I live in north eastern California . Murphy's to be precise. I have attached a picture as is. Meaning I haven't modified or touched the plant in anyway. I want to make sure I do things correctly . Please look at my gallery Thank you so much! |

![]() Please look at my gallery to see the current condition of my plant. Any advice is appreciated. Should I remove all dry foliage? I'm completely new to this and I would appreciate your help.

![]() The main plant is dead. Just the pstem. You still have a living corm under the soil. The new green leaf at soil level is a pup. It will replace the main plant. I would cut away the whole dead plant at soil level. Remove all the brown but do not touch anything under the soil. It looks maybe overwatered. Especially the small new pup do not water more than once every couple weeks. You can pick up the pot and feel if it's dry and light or heavy and wet. Just keep it moist on the dry side.
Don't overwater it and they pup will be big soon!
