My first Grow. I’ve accidentally broken my main stem. I really hope she can recover. What should I do to help her heal and recover? It broke exactly underneath the wire and the half of stem is still connected together, the wire seems to be holding it in place like she was before.

She will be alright as long the broken part is really good together. I hade in the past always wax strips to cover open plant parts… you can get it in some garden shops annd online. Alternatively you can use the wax strips from lap chem. shops. They are sterile for shure

just depends on if the vascular tissue is damaged beyond repair. All you can do is 'tape' it back together, support it and hopefuly it heals. you'll now within 24-48 hours. If it does heal, it'll be a big knot at that location and probably stronger sturcturally than it was before. a little leaf wilt the first 24h isn't necessarily doom and gloom. Leaf wilt continueing after 48 hours is probably a sign it ain't healing. looks relatively fine in the pictures... you can virtually snap them in half and they'll heal if you mush it back together.

If it's still attached by much of anything it will be fine. Give it a little extra support until it's healed.

When I broke one of mine I just got it situated as if it was back together and tightly put bandages around it. Tape or anything to hold it together will work. Then leave it be to heal back together. Happened to me a few weeks back and is all good. If your wire or whatever if holding it together as it was then I guess that could work too. Good luck
