Hey smokeh

You could probably make a second plant out of it. Go and get yourself some root hormone and dip the broken part in about a 1/4" then insert in your cloner / glass of water or whatever method you are using. Next time you break a plant if you don't break it right in half or if there is still some connective tissue you can always dab some honey or rooting hormone on the broken area and wrap it back up with cheesecloth / breathable wrapping and support the top with whatever is handy. (hanger etc...)

I have not tried either or these but if I do ever break my plant I will be doing these. Probably honey first because I don't want to trim root half way up the plant.

If you do make it a clone you will need to strip off a 1/4" of bark on the new clone before adding the rooting hormone :D good luck!

it didnt go so well. it snapped off and i didnt have any gell. the small bit that snapped off died, or is dying so i took it out from under the light. i think the big part will be ok.

see pics. will she be ok? as i said, the top part has / is dying.

the 'snap' was a straight snap, 180 degrees. could this just be classed as a clone gone wrong?

just leave the top part and the main part will heal her self? i havnt done anythin to her. no gell, honey etc.

the bottom of the plant will probably be ok, it may be in shock for a little while just be patient and keep watching it.

even if there was a tiny bit of the stem connected to the other, it probably would have made it. all you would have to have done is get a couple popsicle sticks and tape it up. you don't need to put anything on it for it to repair itself. it looks like you could use a bigger pot too.

maybe, i only transplanted her last week. i was going to go for a bigger pot this weekend just gone but she must still have some room bcoz her roots are showing our the drainage holes yet.

as long as the bottom of the plant is gonna be alright. i left her in the lights as normal. but b4 i snapped the stem i had given nutes. not sure if thats gonna be a prob
