Have you recently acquired this plant?
Mine lasted about 2 months. It made shorter and shorter leaves and the tips would blacken right away, and appeared to die completely. I left the pot hang around because they have thick roots and was hoping it would return from them. After around 2 months or so, It resurfaced from the roots. Now I have 2 growth points growing and doing well.
My D. regia 'Big Easy' only had 1 root as well. If it is a nice big root just let it take it's course and die down. After a while it should come back from the roots.
Here's a picture of the before and after.
Top picture is when I first got it. It had leaves around 3" long.
The bottom picture shows the 2 plants that came up from the roots after dying down for a few months. The leaves are about 1" long now.
I've been growing mine fer awhile, and took numerous root cuttings from it. Possible problems are if it's too hot, like constantly over 90F they don't like that at all or if they're too cold under 50F constantly they may rest which is good for a grown plant.
If they're too wet or the mix too dense, I use alotta perlite in my mix and I don't always have the water to the top of the dish.
Is it a recent root cutting with a sprout?
