    Depends on how bad the break.

    Personally, I use bamboo stakes as a splint. Worked fine the couple of times I've had to do it.
    I take a bamboo stake, cut it to about 4" long. Split it down the middle, so there is now 2 - 4" sticks. Place the sticks on either side of the break, use twist-ties to gently, yet firmly keep it in place. Reduce external stresses (fans, strong light...) and watch that the plant does not 'overgrow' the splint.

    Good luck with her.

    You can wrap that part of the stem with toilet paper, tightly, then mist the toilet paper. When it dries, it will be like a cast on the stem. as the plant grows, the tp eventually just sluffs off.

    when i have little plants/seedlings that break or need help, i prop them up with tooth-picks. if they're bigger, pick-up sticks.
