Introduction
Use this guide to repair a broken plant stem. Maybe a windowsill got closed too fast, someone stepped without looking, or weather changes were too harsh. There are many reasons why plants get thrown out too early before they’re given the chance to be repaired. However, don't let a broken stem be one of those reasons. This quick and accessible guide will allow you to care for your broken plants without having to do hours of research beforehand.
Use this guide if the broken stem comes from a plant with roots. The repair process will take time and needs a lot of energy so having roots is necessary for soaking up nutrients from the soil.
Before starting, you'll need to know how long the stem has been broken for because time is of the essence. If the plant has been broken for too long, it is not receiving the nutrients it needs and will die if not repaired quickly.
What you need
-
-
Determine whether the stem is completely severed or still attached by some connective tissue.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Helllppp! Ma tige principale de ma philodendron burle Marx s’est cassée!😞
J’ai une superbe plante qui fait plein de bébés mais aujourd’hui je suis rentrée et la moitié de la tige principale s’est rompue au ras du sol!!!
Je l’ai remise droite avec un tuteur et arrosée..
Est-ce que j’ai des chances qu’elle se « « rattache » Où dois-je couper toutes les tiges pour en faire des boutures séparées ?
Merci de votre aide je suis trop déçue elle est superbe ..
Hola, qué fué lo que hiciste?. Si sobrevivió?
