Anyone ever seen this before and know whats doing it ? not sure if the pictures are good enough for you to see what I'm talking about but the stem from where it leaves the soil and about a 1 1/2 to 2 inches up something has eaten the outer layer of my stem in complete circle, any ideas on what did this? Thanks in advance for any help

Start looking for critters running around. I could be wrong, but I've never seen bugs do that. Once you figure out what it is, apply the appropriate deterrent.

I've never seen it in my life and after very close inspection no signs of insects anywhere on the plant and as for critters like mice or w/e that plant is still in a solo cup in a tray suspended in the air so no idea what kind of critter could access it unless it has wings

mice usually cut it down when they chew on one, these plants are in a tray suspended in air with fishing line so idk but im thinking no way mice can get at it
