I don't know if this TIP & TRICK has been posted before but here goes.

Have you ever watered your plants & then noticed a bent stem on your plant? I have MANY more times than I care to admit. I thought for a second Hmmmm.... "I'm going to put a cast on it... Using a drinking straw". I snipped a 2 inch piece of straw, slit it down the side & placed it around the bent part of the stem. Now as I'm trimming I see that it worked like a charm. Now I have straws of all different sizes just in case a stem needs a cast lol

Here are some photos:

I hope this comes in handy for someone because it sure did for me.

I was strss training a plant, I was pulling a main side branch and it snapped at the top about halfway through, I took fresh aloe Vera put some in the wound, tied it with fishing line to a higher branch to hold it in place & added a piece of duct tape, it never died, I got more flower of the wounded branch than it's opposite, I snapped the branch 1/2 thru if u break it off I think your screwed.
