Advice please! I’ve been using this trellis for my Hoya prop since it’s what I had on hand, but it’s just way too big. Any recommendations? Also, how do you balance the weight of a trellis vs a small pot? Roots aren’t that big yet and this thing constantly wants to tip over!

I would switch out the trellis for a stake until she is big enough to hold herself into the trellis
