minor stem crack...what to do

Discussion in 'Sick Plants and Problems' started by budblower10, Aug 6, 2006.

  1. hey guys. basically, i have lsted my plants pretty well but i realized yesterday that i must of pulled one of my plants to far down to quickly. at the bottom of the stem (its a nice thick stem on a 3.5 foot plant) a very small crack has started to occur in the stem. now the plant is still living and looking great w/o a change, and i dont really think its that shocked from the tiny break. but either way, today i just put some black electrical tape around the stem. like i said, its not a straight snapp, break or really anything like that, but its like a little vertical "slit" i would call it - like it was litarelly pulled apart a little. 95% of the stem is still connected, but one little piece is torn. what should i do? should i just keep the tape on for a few weeks, should i remove the tape and allow nature to take its course. i really dont think its in danger of dieing b/c of how small the slit is, but i want to be sure you know b/c its a nice plant. thanks alot guys for the help
     
  2. if ur stem is broken u can tie it up and if theres any part where nutrients can get to it then its fine, plants heal themselfs very well so just tie it up or let it keep growing if its aight u would be amazed on how well they can heal themselfs
