Split Rock Infection

I hate it when that happens! It apparently picked up some kind of bacterial or fungal infection and you likely will lose it. One last ditch effort that might save it, sounds wacky but can be effective. Get a bottle of ground cinnamon like you use for baking. Cinnamon is a natural anti-fungal and anti bacterial. Shake on a generous amount over the whole affected area – not a light dash, pile it on pretty good so you can’t see the infected area. Move it to a bright spot out of direct sun, DO NOT WATER, and let it be for a week or more. My concern is that it won’t work in this case because the top growing part appears to be almost separated from the base. If the plant holds its shape after a couple of weeks you might have beaten it. If so, then water cautiously. We’ve used this on plants in the nursery that develop a rot spot with good success but yours is a bit past critical – see what happens. At least it smells good in the meantime!
