Hi guys!

I’m new to this forum! :)
So I’ve had a bonsai wisteria for about 6 months now. My partner got me the wisteria as a birthday gift! So it’s special to me, and trying to take extra care of it! About 3 months ago, someone at home accidently broke my pot! So I had it rewired, repotted and taped to fix the broken branches that occurred. About 2 weeks ago I found one of the branches slanted to the side, it seemed a ball has hit it and it’s suffered the hit. I put it back up, but I’m worried the crack is severe. I did try to take off the wire and put it over the crack but I’m not strong enough haha I’ve attached photos, do you guys think I should get the crack taped or wired for it to heal? I also don’t want to tape it or wire it too much to block the space of growing. It is starting to blossom so I’m hoping that it’s good news, but I don’t want to get infected. What do you guys think?

Any help is appreciated!
Thankyou!

Hi and welcome. Cut the wire off from the branch, gently open the crack and put superglue in. Once it dries out it should support it and the branch should be ok if the live veins haven´t been separated all around the branch.
