This is what I woke up to this morning. This is my Pink Piduca.

I think the rambunctious squirrels did this

I have stripped the main branch of leaves and left it to callous along with the small broken branch. Question is, this is a grafted plant. Will the broken branches be OK? Hints or suggestions welcomed.

Oh no!!!! Good thing is it looks like it broke off above the graft so I think you will have 2 Pink Pudicas.

Shoud I trim the broken top off the mother plant? Its pretty jagged and pointed. And since it is on a diagonal, a lot of branch is exposed.

Yes, I would cut it flat with a sharp knife or clippers. You could also drizzle some wax on it to seal the top.

Before I had a chance to snip off the ragged top; before I could drip some wax on it; I see this lovely bit of green!
