Is that one of Jerry's? Is it a Yamamoto den? Even if it's mushy I would not cut it off. I went to a website about Yamamoto dens and it said that the keikis were produced on the upper nodes
as a result of breakage
Just stake it and watch the mushy part--don't want it to spread!
You might want to order another one if the blooms are going to make you happier, 'cause I don't think you can count on blooms in the near future. Then you can put keikis, old canes, and new plant in a single pot and have a grrrrrreat show
Things are looking up...
