If you want that stem to get thicker you can pinch it a bit between your fingers to bruise the stem when it heals the stem will get thicker and more woody or ligneous, almost like supercropping but not as harsh (not hard enough to make the stem fall over to the side). I have used this with success on seedlings of about 2 real leaf sets.
