Weirdest thing... I was watering plants today and I had not yet tossed the plant out and reused the LECA and it has this little green nub that just seemed to pop up over night. Does this mean it might recover or should I still toss it out?

I don't know what the correct answer is, but I'd definitely keep it!

Post a picture.

Definitely keep it. I had one like that where the growth died off but the new nub, all that was left, grew and was fine.

So now you have two.

I say keep it!!!!

I had one that was all brown, but I was so shocked to throw it out so I left it and a week later, there was this new growth on the side.. and now it's all alive again...... tiny leaves though... maybe another 3 year (wish) till flowering...

A little hope

me too keep it .I lost a besseae about 3yrs ago - but someone told me don't throw it away put it under your bench leave it don't touch it let it just get run off water -- it took nearly 12 months but hey it sent out a runner now i have a 2growth plant main growth about 12" -it hasn't reflowered yet-but it did come back .

I guess besseaes are more resilient than I first believe. If mine starts to sulk, I'll just ignore it and it will only put out a new growth right?
