This thing was barely holding on when I got it. Now seems to be doing good!! And has little babies popping up! Tips for keeping it upright?? Just a taller support stand? What about moving it inside and out as the weather gets warmer?

for supports, you want to attach the stem to the trellis, not the leaves. to move it outside, gradually introduce it to the higher light levels, as too much too soon will burn the leaves. move it closer over the course of a few weeks, then put it outside. if it gets cold at night in your area, you want to take it inside once the sun goes down.
