I’d not only leave it, but gently push it closer to the soil so it could root! We all love a climber, but I mist times encourage my plant to be full at the bottom. You c o u l d let the plant wrap around the top of the soil to let it fill out before it starts to trail or climb!

Just stick it in the soil with a bobbypin but not to tight.
