Torch Skeleton Help

[Birdman Broham]

Picked up this Torch a few weeks back that didn’t look happy. Noticed the next day, one side was gone. The torch now is very happy. Does anyone know how long it takes them to grow back?

Or maybe it branched off and it’s trying to grow? I have no clue.

Unfortunately from the look of that picture that head is completely dead and will likely not grow back. If the second head is healthy it will grow and start to sprout new heads. I would definitely try to determine what could have caused the first head to bail out. The likely culprit is typically some sort of parameter swing.

Yea I have no clue. I received it like this and the torch didn’t look good to begin with. But it look great now. Never had a skeleton before so was curious. Should I leave it alone or cut it off?

Forgot to tag you on my last reply

I would leave it not to further stress it. When the healthy head continues to grow you won’t see it especially when you have 13 new big healthy heads!
