Hi! I'm new to this site and I am hoping someone can help me with my poor plant. I was given this cactus years ago as a gift and I really don't know a thing at all about them. This is the only plant I've managed not to kill. I had it on a table near the window and it started climbing the blinds and I just let it do it's thing. Well, I'm selling my house and a few days ago (4 days, to be exact) I had to move the plant. I very carefully removed all the stems from the blinds and brought it to the covered patio outside. Today I was watering it and I saw that one of the stems had snapped. I'm not certain if this happened while I was moving it, or just from the weight of the branches. I'm not sure if it's normal for there to be so many branches off one single stem. Since this could have happened anytime in the last 4 days, I'm not sure what to do. Should I try to stabilize it and tape it? I'm not sure if plants can heal that way. Or should I cut it off? I really don't want to lose this whole branch, but at the same time, I don't want it to take the whole plant with it. Again, I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I don't want this plant to die because of my ignorance. I really appreciate any advice
Thank you!

Here is a close-up of the stem where the break is, as well as a picture of the rest of the branches that are supported by this one stem.
