Oops, I guess I should've mentioned that when mine broke, after I taped it back together at the break, I took a bungee cord, and basically put one hook end around the top of the plant, then bungee'd it to the tomato cage next to it so it would be immobilized where the break was. I would think stakes, and velcro tape could do the same thing.

I did that. This big container was made for tomatoes and there is a lattice on that container so I took a padded twist tie and hooked that to the lattice but that wasn’t enough to stop the bend last night. I have some thin wire stakes designed to be right next to the stalk of a plant so I’ll take one of those and twist tie that plant to that to prevent it from moving again.
OK, I’ve got it fastened to the thin metal stake on both sides of the break and up from that - the plant isn’t going to move again.
