    I was given a very large plant that I was told was a corn plant. It had hard stalks with plants shooting out of the top/side of the stalks. Well, at least it did til I thought I had killed it. I cut off the dead part last fall and just set the pot in my garage. All that was left basically were the three stalks in the pot. I noticed that there are now quite a few little green shoots coming up right at the dirt line. Should I cut the stalk down to the level of the shoots? Should I gently take the shoots off of the stalk and repot them? I'm thrilled that I get a second chance at this plant but want to make sure it survives this time. Thanks, Susan
