Tavaresia barklyi Surgery

I was hoping the bad spot would just stop growing and the plant would push through this. Well - that wasn't this plant's destiny. With that realization sunk in, the only thing left to do was break out the Xacto knife. Now I just have to keep the cut areas dry, wait for them to scab over and hopefully watch the plant recover. I'm a little concerned about the black lines in the section still connected to the base (they aren't in the top section) - I'll be keeping a close eye on that. If it starts to go bad (get worse), I'll cut it off at the base. After the top section calluses off, I'll try potting it up to get a second group growing.
