Default Colm Help

Thanks for the help. I am going to treat it and re-pot since the roots are
trying to colonize the table top.

If it's soft, brown, yucky, cut back immediately to uninfected tissue and
spray immediately with something like Dithane or better yet, Physan. It

may
or may not be erwinia (brown rot) which can become systemic and kill the
entire plant. Then treat the cut with sulfur or cinnamon. The next growth
back should break a dormant bud and cover nicely for you. Keep an eye on

the
plant for a couple of weeks to make sure you've stopped the infection.
Another srpay wouldn't hurt to help insure success.

I've noticed that one of the new growths on my Colm is turning brown and
yucky looking. The others are still looking good. Do I need to remove

it
or should I just trat it and see what happens for a week or two?
