Can broken stems recover?
Yes! If the stem of a plant is bent or snapped, it’s important to mend it as quickly as possible to allow nutrients and water to continue flowing. Delaying a repair will cut the broken end off from sustenance and reduce the chances of healing taking place.
The most common method of fixing broken stems is to use the tape method. Wrap the tape around the broken stem, making sure that the stem and its base are packed together tightly to allow mending.Leave the tape on for between 2–4 weeks.Check healing progress every day.
You can use external supports to protect the injured site from the pull of gravity.
Tie your plant: Use soft garden ties to gently bind the broken branch to the supporting structure. Apply one tie just before the break, and another one past the break to support the injury from both sides.
