My window pane fell on my ginseng bonsai while i was sleeping and it was broken for anywhere between 1-9 hours. I trimmed the end of the smaller (2mm thick) broken branches at an angle and put them in the soil. The bigger one (1cm thick) only partly broke so I put it back into place and wrapped an elastic around to hold it in place.
How long can a little broken branch live without being in soil/attached to a plant? Is it worth trying to reattach the smaller branches by grafting? Or are they more likely to survive in the soil as a propogation?
Is a partly broken branch likely to survive if it's put back together? Is there anything else I can do to help the larger branch survive attached to the tree? It's in a difficult place to wrap in plastic but I could try if it's really important to

I don’t know, is it worth to graft it? How important is that branch for the design of the tree.
