Split stem
Mrs_Larimaranswered grow question 4 years ago
It quite often happens that the stem splits, branches kink etc. Normally ist no big Thing.You can use duck tape, pipecleners, anything to help the plant .
in naturee stems and branches are kinking and Breaking to. Most time the plant repairs the Damage by ist own. In your case, i wont do anything, ( if one of the 2 branches is damaged. just pay Attention tot to breeak it complete. it will be " helaed in a week.
after it is healed you can bind some pipecleneraround the middle stem .at the base of theY ( under the "Little arms of the Y)
Wicked_Stixanswered grow question 4 years ago
That is a minor break. Just keep the pressure off of it for about a week and it will heal itself. You will notice that it starts to build a knuckle there and it will be stronger than the original node. To prevent this it is best to gently roll the stem between your fingers to soften it a little before you make your bends. Good luck!

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?
