Not supposed to be slumped. Is the soil dry? Sometimes this means it needs water. Other times it’s dying. Did you get it at Home Depot? I just got one and it looks like the same pot

I got it at Lowe’s, it came with a pot that had a self watering wick. When I took it out of the pot the soil was soaked and mushy. I repotted it after I posted this so hopefully fresh soil with help!

you can also try a moss pole and use tomato tape to help encourage her to grow upwards and out. I hope she’s doing netting now tho!
