I'm an Anthurium Leafy (folliage) hobiest, one of my favourite plant had been torn on one of its newly grown leaf, but did not chiped away.
Need to find a special glue which will make the torn parts of the leaf biologically attach and can grow along again. This logically like the latest surgery technology on bonding a patient flesh after having an operation, without sewing them like the old way. The glued flesh will slowly attach and recover like before.
If I can get this some kind of glue that applicable to plantation it surely will help much to repair damaged plants, especially to repair or even re-construct damaged rare plant species.
If someone out there can help, please inform: name of product, place and contact detail of seller, unit price..etc.
Thank you!

I don't know of a glue but what your can try is to cut off the severed edges of the two pieces of leaf to have fresh edges and place them together and tape them so that they will grow together.

When a wound in a person is glued shut, the wound is supplied with blood from both sides and kept living while the flesh carries out the healing process. When a hand or finger is severed and sewn back on, one of the most vital points is reconnecting each of the tiny blood vessels to restore the supply of oxygen and nutriants.
When a plant leaf is torn free, I see no opportunity for making this connection. When a leaf or stem is placed in moist soil with supplements, it may put out roots from growth cells in the plant material, but that is no way of making connection to another plant. When grafting is done, it involves woody material not leafy.

i never heard any kind of "glue" that "repairs" plants back together. that is nonsense!
as a biology student, just wait till the plant regrows the leaf back. it's not like it's gonna die.
or you can make a slanted cut at a node of the plant so it can regrow the branch and leaves all over again
(node is the bumps that indicate each section of the plant. cutting before the node ensures regrowth)

Till today, i don't think there is such a product that u mentioned. All you have to do is wait and eventually, the leaf will slowly grow back or be replaced by another one in its place.

they used to use super glue, but now they have that sort of glue specially made for that. i don't know what its called though, but i have seen it be done on people. like that liquid bandage. sorry i couldn't help, i think you might find more information on google or from a locol botanist.

im not into this kinda stuff but i would think if you boiled sugar and made it thick and sticky you could use that...its natural...if that is what you are looking for.
