Check your roots....all the leaves falling off is not a good sign, sounds like crown rot, or all the roots have rotted. If there are still good roots you "might" get a basal kieki, or a kieki might form on one of the spikes . Good Luck !

That's what it looks like to me. The crown looks black. I never seen this before so I'm going to say yes, it rotted. The leaves fell off so easily. The roots look okay to me. Nothing rooted so I may still have a chance.

Jeff, do you have any Hydrogen Peroxide to pour on the rotten part? Try to make sure the rot stops there and doesn't work its way downward.

I love it. Is there any thing that peroxide doesn't cure? I'll try it. I'll mix it with water to dilute it.

Use the Peroxide straight out of the bottle. What we get from our grocery store and pharmacy is all ready a diluted mixture.
