I use a silicone sealer like the ones you use for bathrooms.  Lasts about a year when you have to reapply.

Assuming it's made from some sort of plastic, it's quite difficult (and/or expensive) to find the right glue to apply a patch.

I managed to fix mine (at the 3rd attempt) using a miniature soldering iron to weld the split back together, using a bit of extra plastic cut from the edge of the lid to help reinforce the weld.

(If your butts are like mine and have split where the 'claws' of the stand has indented the plastic over time, now is the time to saw off the offending projections to avoid a repeat.)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
