Burros tail – dry stem

Question

Hi there

The bottom Half of the stem is totally dry and shrivelled – should I pull it out and cut the bottom half off or leave it as it is ?

You can cut it out, but it looks like an infection setting in. They like to dry out a little in between waterings. The next time you water, though, you will want to replace one third of that water with peroxide. Make sure the container can drain off excess water so that it does not get too much and stay soggy for long.
