: they needed -it appears dead. There
: are little starts in the middle of
: the pod - what to do? should I cut
: off the dead? This is my first

: Thank You!!

What you are describing is what happens when the plant isn't getting enough water. This can mean that you aren't watering enough, but if you are watering the plant well every few days, you may have a problem. The other possibility is that the roots are damaged or rotting and because of this, the plant can not pump enough water into the leaves, and you get the same thing. So first, how much do you water these and how often do you do it?
