My apologies for posting as I have read the suggested new grower posts and some from other people, but I still can’t tell if this is dying or dormant. Up until maybe late December or early January it was doing a lot better from what I could tell.
I didn’t put it outside for the winter as we can get below zero with wind chill sometimes and I read that it was okay to be indoors if that’s the case. It has stayed in the starter pot as I have never repotted a plant and I got it in October so I figured I should probably leave it until spring. I did read enough to realize that the middle is a flower stalk which I would love to turn into another plant if anyone thinks a beginner can reasonably do so. Distilled water only tried to keep it moist but not too wet. It did get too dry a couple times as I didn’t expect it to get dry that quickly. I didn’t prune because I have read that I should, that I shouldn’t, and that it doesn’t matter and I’m kind of unsure which advice to listen to. If I missed any important information feel free to ask, but advice on this plant and the flower stalk considering I am generally terrible with plants not for lack of trying?
