Thought it would be worth asking here.

Recent cold snap means I had my excuse to toss the tomato plants on the compost pile last weekend. They were in containers and being the last ones outside were getting to be a bit of a hassle, so was glad to finally call it a season on them.

I like making bonchis (chile pepper bonsais) and was looking at my big OSU/P20 Blue tomato with the cool twisted trunk (was originally a rather bent cutting) and going "I wonder if I could bonsai a tomato plant?" and went for it. Figured it would live or it would go on the compost pile with the rest.

Long story short, it has survived so far and even appears to be putting out fresh growth, which is good. The bad is that the cut stem is still weeping after a couple of days, and even after I attempted to seal it with wax.

Any ideas on how to get it to stop in a fairly quick manner that would be relatively safe? Or should I just keep it watered and wait for it to dry out on it's own?
