small slit in stem, best action to take...

hey guys. basically, i have lsted my plants pretty well but i realized yesterday that i must of pulled one of my plants to far down to quickly. at the bottom of the stem (its a nice thick stem on a 3.5 foot plant) a very small crack has started to occur in the stem. now the plant is still living and looking great w/o a change, and i dont really think its that shocked from the tiny break. but either way, today i just put some black electrical tape around the stem. like i said, its not a straight snapp, break or really anything like that, but its like a little vertical "slit" i would call it - like it was litarelly pulled apart a little. 95% of the stem is still connected, but one little piece is torn. what should i do? should i just keep the tape on for a few weeks, should i remove the tape and allow nature to take its course. i really dont think its in danger of dieing b/c of how small the slit is, but i want to be sure you know b/c its a nice plant. thanks alot guys for the help

 

Untie your plant and LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE.
Let it grow naturally.
