Dealing with a Broken Main Stem on a Newly Potted Plant

A broken main stem cannot be re-rooted. Place the stem in a vase as a cut flower. The remaining plant may produce new stems. Water deeply when dry, provide appropriate light (ask neighbor). After 2 weeks, if no growth, apply light liquid fertilizer or 2 tsp Osmocote Plus.
