Broke Main Stem :(

While trying to bend the main stem down I got too daring and broke it halfway through. I immediately grabbed some tape and wood sticks and taped them tightly back together. Is there any chance for recovery or should I start digging a grave?

Once some tissue of the plant is intact. It should be ok.. I can't c tat pic proper is that masking tap around that? If so, it has a film on the inside that will make it Impossible for tat to brsetn and heal. It'll take longer And also, you're stem gonna grow. After about a week if she's that delicate. Try a few ties around her. If leafs aren't limb after 24hrs. She's golden. Has happened to me many a time. Man handling. I've broken nodes and bracked them with a string tied around the back, so. Hope it all works out..

If your stem didn't break into 2 parts, your plant will recover. If it just cracked and didn't splinter, think of it as a super cropping training; it's a technique that involves breaking the surface fibers of the plant to redirect growth towards the branches. This is going to cause a lot of stress. I'm sure your plant will bounce back. Good luck!
