Give it a min it’s been through a lot

definitely looks stressed, try to just give it some space to adjust. i would also suggest a support for the main stalk

Where do I get it?

#### max antwortete am 2024-05-07

it kinda depends on what you’re looking for and how heavy the plant is. for much smaller plants i’ve used chopsticks \& hair ties, but you can always get some sort of pole/stake to attach it to

#### max antwortete am 2024-05-07

these are more for hanging plants because you could use a sort of trellis

this is kinda how i’ve done it and you could replace a chopstick with something stronger that would be able to hold your plant’s weight
