Well today I had a huge accident, and I need some advice please!!!
I moved my plants out of the closet they were in because they were getting way too big... So I put them in the middle of the room... One of my plants fell over, and the stem split in the middle a little... Basically it slit down the shute on each side of the stem... Now the stem is really thick, and I added a rope to support the weight from the top... But what else can I do?? Or is my plant going to die from the split on up??? I still have a bunch of flowers below the split, but I want to salvage the beauties on top!!! I attached a pic if that helps... Any and all advice is much appreciated!!!! Thank you!!!

I wonder if you could bandage with surgical gauze and tape.
Maybee even add some rooting solution to the borken parts insides.

I think they make plant wrap... I read it somewhere on here. It grows like skin and heals the plant.

Thank you all for the advice...
Well I wrapped up the stem as suggested... I put some padding around the stem, taped it, and then tied it to give it support at the bend, and to hold it together... It broke at a point where the stem was curved as I was trying to direct the growth when it started to get too big for the closet... but It just kept growing! I flowered at 12" and they are over 6 feet now! Anyway, here are some pics of the bandage, and the buds that were hopefully saved!!! Thanks again!!!

Good job... I've had similar accidents myself. Masking tape always works for me... plenty of elasticity.

if it makes it thru the next 24 hours then it will be ok. it may wilt a little but should perk back up. i had a huge umbrella fall on 3 of my outdoor plants last year. i did lose 1 branch but saved about 6 others.
you flowered at 12" and they are 6'? wow, that's all i can say.
