I got this beauty from Costco about a year ago and she is doing great. She is however getting very big and flopping into our couch to the point that she should be paying rent!!! I did prune and propagate off of her about a week ago but she is still bending the moss poles that I put in. She is super happy in this window and I don’t want to move her into a less sunny spot. Her nodes have grown to about a foot or more outside of the pot and are just hanging there. Should I repot her in a bigger pot or move her to the ground? Or I could prune more off of her to make her smaller?

    I would try making a thicker sphagnum moss pole with metal mesh and zip ties. I can’t link it, but foloi.design on tiktok has a video about it from earlier this month.

    I would also recommend moss poles using sphagnum moss. This will allow the roots to grow into the pole and establish a root system in there, both for stability and to support plant growth/health. I would watch some videos from Sydney Plant Guy (or some other plant creator on whatever platform that speaks about moss poles) on YouTube before diving in.
