Today I discovered two long splits in the main vine of my 1317 Clementz plant. One of them was on the bottom side of the vine, hence no problem, but the other one (top pic) was on the top side. Hence, I cut a big plastic bottle in half (alongside) and attached four shashlik skewers (into each skewer I cut a half inch long slit and attached them to the half bottle using some epoxy). The 2nd pic shows what the whole construction looks like. 3rd pic: This simple piece of not-too-expensive-and-everyone-has-at-home stuff makes a good roof for keeping the vine split dry. Note: Between the hemi-bottle and the vine there are about 3 inches of room which should allow for some air flow.
