Gary is coming back to life! What is the best way to support him? Moss stick? Trellis?

I have one about the same size. I’ve staked the heaviest part with a chop stick for now and will trade out for a taller stick when chop stick isn’t doing its job. I may end up supporting the other leaves w/chop sticks later on as well. Eventually when I transplant into a larger container, it might be ready for a moss pole. Until then my guy will get a little help from sticks! Sometimes I like to use the sticks to “fluff” compacted soil so that air pockets \& nutrients can easily reach root system as well.  
Wishing you and Gary all the best! 🪴😁
