gaffa tape, and a pea stick as a splint

Well, I'm notorious for dropping well developed, freshly potted on seedlings, from that experience I can report, if the stalk is broken they almost invariably die. :roll:

So, you might be just as well off, making a clean cut nearby with secs and see if it branches from there. :?
