What do we do with boat lilies when they get really tall? Are they meant to flop over? I tried propping her it but it grows so fast. I'm not complaining about it growing so well, I just don't want the branches to break off.

    I’ve done 2 methods. If you let it flop over sometimes it will make a trailing cascading type to hide the pot. Other way is to chop and propagate. It will easily send out shoots lower down and make a bushy plant and you can propagate the cuttings.

      Example of both. First is letting it go and second is cutting
