I have a couple outdoor plants that have cracks in the stems from lst. I don't want grey mold getting inside. So I'm thinking to fill cracks in with baking soda. Yay or nay?

Gardening tape. It's a type of Velcro to hold plants together to toe them down. Worked wonders for my.main stem about a week bandaid up and removed was nice and healed

They make a wound paste for plants that most gardening stores should have. Tar like substance that you smear over cut off branch ends or cracks in trees.

Baking soda would just wash away in the first rain. :)

Not to mention there is always a few feet wrapped around the handles of my trekking poles. I broke a Little Sister trying to bend it a little too much. That day I didn't have the tape, {or the trekking poles} so I just propped it up. When I went back it had fell back down, but was already growing up again, so I just taped it in that position. Last I saw of her, she was doing fine.
