    Nooooo that’s the worst! I wonder if you could propagate it? It might grow roots in water, but don’t quote me on that.

    I feel your pain. I have broken off the stems on two of my orchids while repotting them. Those beautiful flowers gone. It hurts.

      I’m so sorry! Those stems take so long to grow as well

    Oh I know this pain all too well! I recently snapped off the baby leaf on my mini White Knight! I have to admit to crying a little.

      definitely broke my heart and I could’ve avoided it by just moving her while I worked above her 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

      I still clearly haven’t learned my lesson from the last time I snapped a leaf off (doing the exact same thing I did today!), at least they grow back

    Put that back together quickly before it forms callouses! Make a DIY splint with 2 toothpicks and a small piece of masking tape at the back. It has a 50% chance of resealing.

    Might seem unrealistic, but I’ve taped broken leaves and vines before on my photos and monsteras, and they just heal and stitch back up. 😋

      Omg I did that with a little branch on a baby dogwood tree once. Healed like a charm and it’s still going strong 15ish years later <3
