Save a broken chili?
Hi, I need your help.
The wind broke my chili plant at the very base (it was already woody). Unfortunately, it's completely gone. Is there any way to save it? There are so many fruits on it.

You don't get the plant anymore. Maybe the fruits can be saved if you put the broken part in a bucket with water and let it ripen a bit.
Then freeze fruit, put in or dry.
You can try to put the broken parts on top of each other as they belong, then you pull a rail and tie or stick it carefully with tape.
It can work with some luck.
As with tomatoes, the whole plant hangs up over the head and lets it mature. If there is also a nightshade like the tomato, it would have to work.
No, you can't. You can peel off the fruits and dry. They can still be used, even if they are not mature yet.
