Stem not growing as fast as the branch
contrapunkstarted grow question 5 years ago
The Two mainline branch seems to have more girth than the main stem. Any reason why the stem isn’t growing at the same rate?

I'm not quite sure what you mean? It looks healthy. You've done it correctly 👍🌱all stems will garden up eventually....
HappySkunkanswered grow question 5 years ago
Wow, that looks like a weightlifter. Don't worry - I'm sure the stem will follow... soon it'll look like a proper trunk.

As your mainlines get more weight/size the stock will thicken.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?7 months ago

Stem Damage in High Winds/Tropical StormsI live in Thailand, it's very hot a the moment so we are prone to tropical storms. When this happens it's very windy.
I am concerned this will cause damage to the stem of the plant/s. Is it advisable to use a stake to support the plant stem, or will the plant just deal with it?Week 5
