If i do mainlining i twist pipecleaner around the stem to protect her from splitting, because that happens often,
if the stem is healed give her a small bandage around the stm. and always look it the bndage is wide enough, becuse the stem fattens up and the bandage may grow into it. Same to you" first aid".... you dont have to remove the tape after the stem is healed. just chek every week if it disturbs the plant
