    Though the stem clearly is damaged, it may continue to grow.

    I would stake it and secure it with plant ties. Stabilize it as best you can.

    I would not wrap the wound with anything, just allow the air to circulate around it. Watch for any bugs or insects as they tend to find a plants weak areas.

    Hopefully your plant will continue to bloom for the season!
    Good Luck.

    Lantana berries develop from the spent blooms. he plants can successfully be grown in many types of containers, so transplanting from the hanging basket to a planter, is fine. Regardless, they will still require more watering than those left in the ground, usually on a daily basis as you are already doing. You can keep it in your garage or a heated greenhouse (just above freezing). The house is usually warmer than 50 degrees at night, but if you have a location that is bright and sunny, but doesn't freeze (50 degrees at night) 70-80 degrees during the day, it could possibly make it through the winter. Or you can let the blooms go to seed and collect the seed, and start the plant from seed in Feb. of next season.

    Purple leaves are generally nutrient deficiencies.

    I use Epsom Salt in my garden when I see purple leaves on my plants.

    With the age and size of your plant it sound like it could use some trimming or pruning.

    Here is an article that will help you determine the best time to do so.

    Generally, it is not a good idea to plant anything in very hot conditions, as this will cause the already stressed roots to die. However, if you can ensure that the plant will get continuous water as it establishes, the choice is yours. Ideally, however, it would be better to wait until the temps cool off some and preferably on a cloudy day.
