Pumpkin Preservation Kit for Decorative Display

The user is upset their pumpkin's stem broke and wants to 'preserve it or keep it alive longer' to prevent decay/rot, implying a desire to keep it as a decorative item rather than just cooking it immediately. Existing advice focuses on consumption or temporary delay of spoilage. A specialized kit including a sealant or preservative treatment (e.g., food-safe wax, specific coating, or desiccant system) could extend the decorative life of pumpkins, especially those with damaged integrity, catering to seasonal decorators.
