got 20 santa growing, 5 at the back have now bent over near enough completely and have been like this for 2 days, im going to tie them all up now as its the bank holidays and i now have time, i must stress the stems have not snapped just bent over vertically, will this have caused any lasting damage to them? or will they be fine once i tie them up

i dont know.... but I'd imagine they will be just fine, especially if nothing snapped.

they will be fine. just put up a stick a few inches away from the base and tie the plant to it above the bent section. good luck

they might look a little funny but if didn't snap should be fine...
definately tie it up... or get that netting set up...
maybe spray stalk with thrive alive solution to help?

expect a probable recovery period of @ 1 week (no new growth) if the stem krimped.

I had plants snap on me, tehn after using duct tape on the stem adn some tie downs, they were fine.
