Is there something I can use to patch this stem? It broke when I moved it weeks ago. It is still growing

I’ve split vines both the long way and the wrong way...they will heal...pics would help to give a more informed decision....

Keep it dry, apply a fungicide and let it scar over.

I have been putting Sulfur dust on splits. They seem to do OK.
Is Daconil preferred by heavy hitters?

I use Parafilm Grafting Tape and it works great! It's waterproof, flexible, stretchable, and adheres to itself easily. When applying towards the end of the wrapping process, stretch it that is how it adheres to itself. Good luck! Oh, I bought mine on Amazon.com. =)
