Oh, Bill. I think you misunderstood very slightly. In theory, I would remove the scape from the plant at deaths door (scape-donor) and attach it onto a vibrant happy scape of a second plant, an entirely different cultivar (scape-recipient).
So the sick plant puts no more energy into growing its own scape, which is now amputated, and can focus on getting better. But the amputated/donated scape now grows on the healthy recipient instead, stealing nourishment from that one, to grow blooms. Like a parasite. All completely hypothetical.
But I read the article of Sooby. It may not at all be possible with monocots anyhow. Which is sad.
So, with that in mind, I decided to give the plant a couple more days to green-up and look a bit healthier (I take daily photos to compare). Or at least try and poke out the beginnings of a fresh leaf. It will mean I do not make any rash decisions.
