Anyone please anyone help a few days ago I accidentally cracked her stem so I decided to squeeze and turn into a super crop I taped her off and everything has buying been fine for the last two days woke up this morning watered everything looked good did rain kind of heavy last night but I put a fan on them to dry it out then I would just went to the store about an hour ago to get soil and some fertilizer and I came home and this is what I'm left with what happened in the last hour. only part of the plant that seems to be affected is from the super crap area and up I'm really worried because this is my main cola.....please help

Break where she is drooping. Take it easy on her. Tape and support it, take the fan off of it because your only going to put more stress. Keep it in the shade for a few days and let her recover. The more you mess with it the worse you will make it.

It's already cracked from where she's dropping on up. I super cropped her 3 days ago. Ok aquaman. Thanks for advice. I'm thinking the sun may have stressed her out then from where she was super cropped. Doesn't look like over watering to me. It was just a thought that went threw my head

Grab some electrical tape and tape it holding it at the angle you want. Tape from an inch or 2 below to an inch or 2 above the break to support it. Then shade and let her be for a few days.

I agree with adding more support to the break, at least initially. I've had two branches break off nearly completely from wind.. these were not main colas, but still 4 foot branches. I used some duct tape and dedicated staking and they both formed big knuckles at the break point and are doing well.

Taped and tied her up pretty good with plant tape. Hopefully shell survive. If not. I guess I'll cut where growth is dieing and I'll hopefully yeild SOME off remaining healthy growth

Shade will be important. She should bounce back

Looks kind of rotted at the knuckle IMO, maybe because of the rain. I would just go ahead take off that upper growth personally. It might heal, but she could be using that energy growing instead.

Fantastic. And some great advice from the group. I would have also used 2or3 pencils/chopsticks/twigs in the tape just like you would use a 1st aid splinter on a broken arm/leg bone. Great save!

Yes. I truly am thankful for the advice I get on this site. Super grateful. And good idea I didn't think about "splinting" her. Have to remember that
