So here's a little mini update. I have some pics to show. I topped them yesterday. 2 weeks and 5 days today. I noticed my stem on the biggest one is looking a little weird. Tell me what ya think. Tell me if there is something wrong. Tell me you love me. Maybe not that last one, but it was worth a try...:-|

Fuck man, I do have a fan blowing on em. You think if I take it off of em and blow it a different way it'll be ok?

stem rot could come from too much water staying up there ?? is your water level higher than the line? as the root mass grows it takes up space so if you keep adding the same amount of water it will evetually be raising the water level?? just a thought..have you replaced the paper tag on that one? it looks dry?

The paper tag? I figured it out I think, the stem WAS touching the label, and the air WAS causing it to rub against it. I cut some of the label away and now the plant is not moving against anything. Whether or not that is the problem, I don't know. None of the other plants have that problem, so I hope that was it. Thanks for the advice guys. I Appreciate it.

the tag thats what i meant does it stay wet ? it looks dry in the pic?? but the rubbing could def have done it ! good save :) if you have or can get a peice of floral tape you can wrap it around for strength and to keep the wound clean(bandaid) ..

if you have fake flowers in the house chances are you can steal a peice off one ..just un-wrap the stem ..or if the stem is plastic they might have used it to hold the "flower" to the stem:)
