cut them right off you cannot fix this problem they will grow back i had the same problem last year i sniped the stems right off they do come back it takes a while but they come back nice and green like they supposed too i don't know if it is some kind of disease that makes them do that or what.but it is something.make sure you cut as close to the stem as you can get it.
Reply:You cut them back off at and angle with something very sharp. You can use a very sharp knife, a carpet knife will work too if you don't have the proper shears for the job. Once you cut the area, rub a bit of melted wax over the cut part to prevent plant killing molds from hopping a ride on your plant. If the dead areas continue to spread, you may have a deep down issue such as grubs or other plant killing critters under the ground. You can take the added measure of sprinkling the area liberally with cayenne pepper and watering it down to kill and insects deep down without harming your plant. It even kills ants.
