I have a big split leaf that I’m trying to keep from spreading too wide. I don’t have a good place for her in my house currently, so she’s near the back sliding door and gets early morning sun. The problem is I have dogs that go to the back yard and so I can’t let her spread wide because we need to use the door often. So my question is, how can I keep her more contained? Right now I have some loose string around her as shown in the picture, but she’s gotten bigger and I need another solution.

    could think of more vertical options like a pole , might help contain it more easily if you can get the majority of the leaves in the same sort of direction

    They make plant stakes that help group them together. That might work, just look up plant stem supports. I have one too, it stood up pretty straight at the shop but it had a skylight above it there - light source/direction will effect it bushing out too
