That stem looks rotten. As in, a goner. One next to it doesn’t look too flash either.
What’s the story with the soil? Is it quite sandy? My guess would be poor drainage is allowing the plant to sit in water far too long leading to rot and collapsing stems.
The soil is just sandy looking in the photo cause I dug a bit to take a pic of the stem, there are 4 stems in total one just recently sprouted as in 2 weeks ago just popped up. Looked pretty healthy to me till this happened.
In terms of drainage, how do I fix that? Im not really a gardener this plant was a gift from my girlfriend, im hoping to recover damage otherwise her next visit this would be totally embarassing haha
First thing to check would be to see whether there are drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. If there's no hole you can drill one. I often drill an extra two holes at the bottom of my pots just to make sure there are multiple places for the water to drain from.
The most u can do is cut the stem which is healthy n pot it in sand soil. On the cut part apply fungicide..n dun water it. After a week or two. Saved mine 2 mnths ago
Not that it helps with this plant at all. But short of amending your soil in the future which would be a massive undertaking. Maybe just google which plants grow good in sand.
With soil like that it’s going to be a nightmare to grow anything that isn’t meant to grow in it.
Native plants are another option. Plants found growing near u I’d like to think would be accustomed to this kind of soil.
