So I was moving the plants around for watering and while doing so I somehow bent/snapped a branch on the tree. Please take a look at the pics and tell me if you think it will
Be alright. I don't think it was that bad. And hours have passers and it hasn't looked dead or anything. I have it propped up by a meter right now. And the brown spot is the fracture

I guess I can't see the break, but I pinch my stems and bend them over quite frequently in order to give them a bush-like profile. I've also broken stems by doing this, to the point that I was sure they were doomed, and they've always popped back up =)

I just did the same thing with one of mine, only it broke right at the stem and now just hangs there. I made a sling for it out of a piece of string tied to the roof of the greenhouse. Hoping she heals.

I use stretchy plastic tape to bind it up, sometimes need a splint, leave the bandage on for a couple of weeks, then release the bandage/splint.....it should be healed enough by then to support itself....if the bandage stays on too long, it could get too tight as the branch grows....
