alright everyone, i need some advice. this is my alocasia regal shield. she came from a big box store in september as a rehab, as all but one of her leaves were pretty damaged from pests. I was able to eliminate the pests (and still haven’t seen anything other than a few fungus gnats) and pruned all the damaged leaves as they died off one by one. before the last 2 original leaves dropped she decided to bloom. i let her briefly have her moment, but chopped all the blooms down soon enough as well since I want her to focus on leaves. two days ago the final original leaf was turning lifeless, so I finally chopped her. i sprayed hydrogen peroxide diluted with water on the cut stem immediately after to hopefully prevent rot, but now we are browning and starting to go mushy. there’s another large stem in the pot, as well as 3 young babies i propagated from her corms during my original repot. i’m thinking of how i manage this open cut stem in the same pot as the other healthy plants. rooting powder? sit and wait? I think the second pic is a node(?) and I know there are a couple more deeper in the soil. please give me some direction <3
