So my username is abit different. Ha couldnt sign in so had to change it. Anyways good news i ended up having to cut all the leaves & stems off. Now its starting to have new shoots coming up out of the sides of the crown. I havent removed it from the small pot for fear the new roots might break again. But i think its finally growing new roots since theres new growth for the first time in the last year & a half. So happy theres new life to it
