I planted a 4 feet tall including leaves plant that has just begun putting out its first new leaf. My dear little 3 yr. old grandson (bless his heart) decided to swing on one of the older leaves. AAAk! The p-stem bent over and is pretty well creased at the bend. Could it possibly recover? Should I just cut it down past the bend in the p-stem? I tried really hard to be stern with the grandson about respecting the plants but without screaming and tears. I did pretty well

Thanks for any advice you can give me. Kay
