Whenever I top a well developed stem, it's always hollow in the middle. Just keep the plant healthy, and it will be okay. I never tape it off or plug it up. I treat the whole plant including around the opening on the hollow stem with preventative maintenance for pests. I dont know if left untreated it would be a way for pests to attack the plant. I have seen a picture posted on RIU showing ants going inside the plant through a hole where a branch was trimmed off.

all good let her ride........

you can poor nutrients down the hole to give the plant a boost!
