One vigorously growing bud is a GOOD thing after what your plant has been through. There is a rule about pruning or cutting off top growth of a plant; remove no more than 1/3 at a time. You chopped this sucker down a lot more than that and for it to still be living is a good good sign. Do not mess with stressing this plant any more right now. It needs a new pot with drainage and sterilized potting soil and then a bit of balanced fertilizer. Those nodes will grow when the plant is able to support new growth. | |

I cut the head off that plant a few years ago, planted it, and that's what this plant is now. I guess I'm repeating the process again now. | |
