Thanks for all your quick response Mike!

To answer your quesitons, when I bought this dend 2 years ago, it was already in this pot. It is a rectangular clay pot that is glazed on the outside. But the pot doesn't have holes in the bottom. Is that why it is black? I try not to overwater (i use spray bottle only when the wood/moss feels dry) it but it probably does not get very much air circulation in the pot?

I am not sure if the white silky membrane comes off the leaf. I tried to rub it now but it doesn't seem to come off. Alternatively if I scratch it, it seems to be a bit more green, but i'm not sure if I am scratching off the white residue or just scratching off the top membrane of the leaf! I also forgot to mention that the leaf looks a bit shruken and dented where there is a white membrane...is that a clue?

As per your and OrchidFlowerChild's advice, I have now put my broken cane into a bag with some moist sphag. I hope that it will grow new roots or keikis!! Are there any rules for how much sphag I need? Currently I have used just enough sphag to make a small bed for the cane to lay on and have inflated the large ziploc bag by blowing in it. Is it ok if the bag is completely sealed, or does it need air circulation?

Thanks again for your help!
