| I don't think I would worry about it yet. Just make sure that this guy dries out very well between waterings until you see a new growth at the bottom, and no fertilizer until then. If a hybrid, which is most likely, the plant, mom and baby, may sometimes express one set of genes or another depending on many things, and maybe size, or whether or not it is blooming. Have faith that as long as the canes are greenish and firm, even if shriveled a bit, your plant is alive. This is the season for dormancy, so relax.
