A roll of duct ( sometimes called duck) tape is a useful thing to have stashed in your shed for emergency first aid on broken plants.
So long as the plant has not been completely severed in half a band aid of this sticky vinyl fabric tape might just save the plant from complete loss.
So far this year i have joined two snapped courgette plants back together with it and one tomato plant and all have gone on to grow as if nothing ever happened to them!
I also use it to tape plants onto supports as it does not cut into tender stems like string does, and is useful for wrapping around a stem to stop string chaffing or cutting into tomato branches when supporting fruit.
Excellent plant first aid and stocked by most hardware stores so its easy to get hold of.
