One of the fake plants on my decoration broke, is it ok to use hot glue to stick it back on? Is it safe for a fishtank?

It is hard to say if your particular glue is safe.

Cyanoacrylate super glue is safe for aquarium use.

this is what I have, it doesn't specify what type of glue it is

I’d be safe and go with a trusted brand like krazy glue which is what I use
Although I would guess that’s fine as well
 
Hot glue is just plastic that’s melted then dries hard. it’s aquarium safe, but not at all a strong glue especially when it’s underwater. It doesnt hold anything together lol. I would figure out a way to repair your decor with superglue if you really want it to stay.
