Thanks Bill. I haven't totally removed it from the pot to check underneath the cane. I gently pulled it out of the pot half-way. I couldn't see any bugs - have been using worm tea - no sign of critters; the roots, from what I saw, looked good. I think for the time being, I'll wait until it flowers and then repot. At that time, I should be able to see if the cane is rotting underneath. Hopefully, it won't sustain further damage. If I do need to remove the cane, I'll probably be asking for help.
Thanks for your reply.
