    Hi Folks

    I have just brought a ZZ Plant from Ebay and when I unpacked it I discovered the top of the main stem has snapped and folded over (photo below).

    Would it be ok for me to prune the broken top of the plant off?, it a lovely looking plant but the bent top kind of ruins the look of it.

    I was also wondering if I were to put a splint on it to hold it up straight would it heal and stay up right.

    Many Thanks

    Jakk
