Hi all!

I've got an oddball situation with my little guy...here are the details:

1. Owned the plant for 3.5 yrs. and it has been repotted once about 2 years ago or so.

2. We lived in San Diego where I left it outside year round and it had steady but slow growth in its current pot.

3. We moved to southeastern Idaho back in June and I brought him with me (along with my other variety of plants).

4. He seemed to be doing great, even sprouting a couple of new leaves until one day, about 5 weeks after the move, his stems were shriveled (like a raisin) about 2/3 of the way up and the top leaves are dropping.

5. I panicked and thought the whole plant was dying or over watered (even though I take care to not over water him) and/or maybe needed better light. I searched online for a similar issue but could not find anything plus he continued to have new growth so I thought maybe the top of the branch needs supporting.

6. After putting in a wooden support and moving him to a room with indirect but bright eastern sunlight, he has sprouted new branches and leaves like I've never seen before! So obviously he likes this new light but the problem with the shriveling is still there. Should I be concerned that it may spread? Should I clip off the stems where the shriveling occurs? Has anyone ever experienced this issue or know what it is? Is it okay to repot (if necessary) while it's actively growing?

I've included pictures below of the problem areas and also the new growth. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!
