I didn't upload a photo of how the broken stem looked after the storm, since as soon as I saw it, I put soil in a new pot up to the cotyledon, which was the only part that stayed straight. Would it have been better to use a stake or guide? Or is it okay to cover the stem with soil up to the first cotyledon?

It should be fine. The buried portion of the stem, will in time, sprout roots. As long as the plant can stop itself from falling over, a tutor or stick to keep her standing will not be needed. If she can not stay upright by herself, obviously a tutor will be needed. If you do need to tie her to a stick/tutor, remember to use a loop with plenty of room for the stem to expand as she grows. If you use a tight knot, as the plant grows and the stem expands, the knot will "strangle" the stem and possibly kill your plant. I have found wide (4-8millimetre), elastic cotton plant ties to work best for tying plants, as opposed to anything with wire. Hope this helps.... Organoman.
