| Update
Well, the cane was removed and treated with cinnamon. In the process, I damaged one small new growth while cutting off the cane, however, the other larger new growth on the opposite side is doing well.
Several buds blasted, but a few are opening now. Just wanted to see the color of the flowers before I removed the flower spike, which I think the den will recover better if removed. The camera color does not represent the true color. It's actually much darker - almost a blackish maroon, so I don't know why this den was labeled Den. Blue 'Hawaii' - maybe mislabled?
Anyway, thank you Kevin for the advice to save this den. It seems to be doing pretty well. |
