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?

Sounds like rot! Is it soft?

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.

It's not really soft exactly and there's no bulb that I can see. I am going
to take the growth off and treat the plant and hope for the best. there are
two other new growths on it. I think I will re-pot too since the roots are
trying to colonize the table top. Thanks for the help
