What to do when stem snaps?

The plant is quite tall and filling up a 2x3 tent. The stem snapped when I bent it to. I taped it up pretty bad and got it to stand up crooked. Was thinking of tying the main stem with a string to the top of the tent to stand up better. What else does everyone do when this happens?

I always keep a roll of metal hvac tape handy. A couple of loose wraps around the break , then squeeze tight so it seals and creates little creases all around. Makes it rigid like a metal cast, and can hold up big branches, while still allowing it to stretch and grow. Works for me!
