Update 🪴 I got a longer stake and tied the longer, heavier leaves so they start growing upright. I hope 🤞 I did it right so as not to stop it from thriving like it has been.

It’s recommended to tie the trunk part and not the petiole (individual leaf stalk) because they move to face the light. I think the only way to get your plant to grow upright is to light it from above and that’s still probably not a guarantee. Those little satellites are gonna so everything they can to catch some light…

Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll keep an eye out and see what the individual leaves do, and adjust if necessary.
