rooting the stem

[shamanstrain 16]

I have a seedling that stretched it`s stem because it didn`t have enough light at start. The stem is like 4 inches and it can`t keep itself up. Someone told me to put rooting gel on the stem and burry the stem with new dirt so it can grow roots. Does this work at all$ has anyone tried it$ i really would like to save this seedling. Is the cloning gel the best advise$ i can`t make question marks so its $

no need to pur rooting gel, i guess it will not hurt, just make sure it doesn't rot or anything like this on the stem. But if you burry it like your friend told you the plant will grow new roots from that stem normally yes
