Wind Damage Help

[airdawg13]

One of my plants did not have a cage around it and a wind storm tipped it over. The plant is over 6 feet and has been budding for a couple of weeks. I taped up the branches were it broke and staked it with 10 bamboo sticks.

My question is should I leave the plant leaning or should I try to prop it back straight up?

It is leaning at a 45 degree angle from being blown over. I am worried if I try to bend the plant back to normal that it will go into shock.

pull it back up tie a string loosely around the stalk then anchor the other end to a firm place,this will keep it stable..pulling it back up wont hurt it just pull it back the way it fell,till its straight again..
