Branch snapped off , help !

Oh man I’m so bummed out
Today one of my main branches broke off completely watched it happen before my eyes everything went slow

I got some paper tape ASAP,
I put it together best I could wrappped it firm with tape around the area it snapped used some thin rope on the upper part of the plant tied off too a bamboo stick for support ..
this picture is before it happend .
But basically one of those large branches completely snapped off

Any chance it might make it ? Hopefully reattach itself ? Any advice would help and a relief The branch completely snapped off. Will it affect the rest of the plant ?

U did what u could it happens to the best of us next time I would recommend honey or aloe Vera then wrap it up and brace it like u did and if lucky and plant is healthy won’t skip a beat and you will have a nice knuckle and even stronger branch

Nahhh mate u need duct tape it's the shit broke so many branches apply that silver ductape asap n it should fix out

^^this You could try sealing the wound with some paraffin too, that could help seal in moisture and disease out

He doesnt seem concerned about the branch and i wouldnt be either. The plant will be fine.

^^This too... plant will be fine, probably won't lose any weight in the end, just more energy to other collas

yeah it’s all I could do before it got dark , I Can possibly undo the taping , seal it with honey and retape maybe with some duct tape better? It was pretty clean snap so I was able to get it together pretty good. Thanks For the input.

leave it alone now, you can only make it worse.
if the branch stays in place it should be fine soon.

I snapped a branch in early flower. It was hanging on by a thread. I tied it up to another branch and it healed perfectly. No tape. No honey. No nothing. The leaves were droopy on that branch for a day or two but then she perked right up and kept on flowering.

Everything you've heard here is the case. Sometimes they break off and heal up. Sometimes they don't. Any missing branch just redirects the available energy to the rest of the plant and in the end whether the branch heals or not it will all usually be about the same.

i just went ahead and took off the branch i dont its not worth the effort , it branched off towards the base where it snapped . ill still have good number coilas to work with.
