This baby brug was planted about 3 weeks ago. It looks very unhappy. I guess I'll just let it marinate for a bit more before I toss it.
Ecuadore Pink Is it Toast?
I think you are right. Sorry.
I can't see it well enough. Did I see green or was that moss? If it was green, it is not too late. LOL And sometimes a dead brug on top has live roots under ground and it will send up a shoot or 2.
Think I see some green on top stem and at bottom, but big hollow place in center does not look good. I'd keep it planted for awhile, can't hurt anything, it just might send shoot from bottom, if you have roots.
Thanks everyone for the "pre post mortem". There is a bit of green on the stem, so we'll give it another bit of time.
I'll update with the final outcome.

I'm still seeing a bit of green. I don't think the Fat Lady has started to sing on that one yet, and we all know it's not over till the Fat Lady sings. (Who the heck is the fat lady, and why does she always sing when bad things happen?)

And with no leaves, it won't need as much water so water only when dry! GOOD LUCK!
Kell,
Thanks for the advice but -- "Water only when dry" -- we have had deluges here for almost two weeks. Our rainy season started with a bang!!
Hmmm... maybe I should dig it up and put it in a pot so I can regulate it more. Sorta like sending it to a sanatorium!! LOL
Update -
EP is potted up. Lets see what happens. I will update if there is any progress. Thanks for all your feedback!!

I hope she makes it for you, Zingy. When we have our rains here that just go on too long, I turn my pots over on their side. It has saved a few! Though for some reason plants can take excess rain more than they can excess hose water.

Gosh Kell how can that be do you think?
Perhaps hose/city water has too much stuff added?

I don't know what the reason is or why plants are able to take more excess rain than excess hose water, but that is correct and the case. I've seen it happen many, many times. And, I suppose you know, plants can generally take a drought better than they can take excess water. You can always water a plant when it's dry, but on flat land there is no way to remove the water, as in the Delta where I live...
