I would leave it alone. There is a house by me that had a "stick" in their front yard that had actually died. Not like yours. They left it in the ground, and now a year later, it has branches that have actually grown from the ground, watch your plant, it should branch off. I would leave it alone so not to stress it any further. don't give up on it,

You are right to plant the others as cuttings. If the break is not clean, I would recut the end at a slant, and let it scab over for a couple of weeks before planting. Good luck!

Thanks.

I did recut the branchs as soon as I got home last night so that they were about 18'' with a clean angled cut. Plus I trimmed off the leaves but left the flower buds on.

Good luck. Usually if you are going to trim the leaves off, you should also cut the inflo too, as they take up energy. I would suppose you are talking about the cuttings? I have successfully rooted many cuttings by leaving on the leaves. Until I found this site last year, I didn't know any better. Good luck! Jennifer
