You can add a trellis or a moss pole for support. I have mine on a wooden trellis for 3 years now and it’s grown really nice. Mine is growing in different direction due to light and not having a grow light for 2 years .

If you do get the sphagnum moss setup, be prepared for the upkeep (it’s a lot!) :) I like to use thick branches I find on walks as well
