This is my 2nd plant its 2vast 2fast and I've accidentally snapped the stem off, can this be fixed or should I try and root it
If it's snapped clean off then best to try and root it as a clone. If it's still attached by some stem material then you can try splinting it. I just grab a twig or something like a thin stick- usually 3-6" long. A large toothpick, wooden skewer, whatever. I lay the splint parallel against the plant stem, centered on the broken spot. Take a pipe cleaner. (or string or whatever- tape works but it's hell to unstick after), tie the lower section first by doing a few wraps around the stem and the splint, till it's firmly attached, then prop the upper section into place and tie that up next.

that's where its snapped its still attached just put garden wire seems to be holding up (slackened off for pic)
Yeah that will be fine. Just tie it up to the other stems so it's closed up and secure.

Some support in the middle of that branch will help fully close the gap too.
It will form a big knuckle.
