Today while I was repotting my bell pepper plant I noticed that a twisty that I was using to hold the plant was inserted into the stem of the plant. It is very low on the stem and it has probably cut 25 to 30% of the stem. I have removed the twisty now and it didn’t break, but I’m worried whether the plant will survive or not. What can I do to make sure it survives?

Thank you!!
