I used a wooden dowel for mine like a tall thick one

Yes, im just confused on which of the stem i should anchor the support?

I usually anchor the second last leaf that grew so I avoid stunting the newest leaf as it continues to harden off and I don’t affect the next leaf developing.

Looking at yours I think I’d personally anchor this one, but I’d be interested to hear what others have to say!
