PTVT seems to rot from the bottom, like an overwatered cycad or cactus.

Pretty much all the same- from rotting spears. Not had any rot any other way (yet). Rotted about 3 Parajubaeas, 2 Jubaeas, countless Phoenix, several Syagrus (coronata, yungensis, pseudococos and several romanzoffianas), Butias capitatas and paraguayensis, Ravenea rivularis (about 5), Ravenea juliette, Lytocaryum hoenhii, countless Howeas.... you'd think by now I'd know better. Interestingly enough never rotted a Ravenea xerophila that way (hardy buggers!). Also rotted a Chamaerops cerifera 4x (the same plant!)... still alive and kicking, though.
