| My Ph. Nigra is a small plant that has two shoots so far this season. One of which is growing rapidly. The other shoot hasn't grown for about a week and a half now. It's really weird, i am wondering if it broke. It still feels fully attached and doesn't look dead at all. Can anyone help me? I want the shoot to live!
Thanks,

| Sorry...nothing to be done. It may continue to grow or it may not. Shoots abort all the time, even on mature plants. |

| Here are some photos if it helps any. This is the either dead, or just not growing shoot This is the new culm that was a shoot about a week ago and came up after the "dead" shoot.
Both
Although it is probably not possible, if you have a way to help me save this shoot, please let me know. This is the only Ph. Nigra I have left. |

| It looks alright to me. Just keep it watered, and it'll probably be fine. I've been really impressed by my Nigra, which was planted at the end of February. Many, many shoots are sprouting...even from the culm-less rhizome cuttings. So, I'd say have faith. Two of my shooting culms seemed to have died earlier in the season, but now they've simply "bushed" out around the stunted central culm. A few culms shot up in the last three days even. Josh |

| looks fine to me, just leave it alone , ive noticed on my nigra, that sometimes it stops growing for a few days or so, or even a week, using its enengry for an other culms . my vivax grew a shoot 2ft tall, then stoped, after a week, it sprang another foot..... be calm.. |
