Sandra,
A plant affected by scorch will have dead roots. Without roots it
cannot intake nutrients to sustain the plant. The visual affect is the
plant will become stunted and all foilage will brown from the tips down,
including the mother rhizome and the increases. However, the rhizome
will remain hard and look healthy. If this is the symptom of your plant
then scorch it is otherwise it is something else.
