Family put something ontop of my pepper's planter and broke the stem. They didnt tell last night and waited til theyre back home today. Is there anyway to save it?

It should grow back. My goats ate most of my plants. One of them was a banana pepper plant that now has 6 peppers at 3 inches or longer, and others growing.

If leaves sprout from those nodes on the side it can survive but will take a while to grow and harvest. If no leaves grow then its over.

I think it should be able to recover, but just seed another one just in case.

Yes. Probably grows back!

It’s too late in the season for redemption on this one. I would either try again next year or buy a new plant that already has fruit on it.

No. Definitely not over.

I snapped a fruiting pepper plant last year and thought it was over as well. I left it there just to see if it would do anything and it bounced back. It actually gave me a lot too. You should be fine given how early in the season it is.

Five out of my 6 pepper plants lost their tops two days after popping up. They still look the same after two weeks but they appear to still be alive.
By the end of the season it’ll be huge, just hold off watering for a bit
