Does anyone have thoughts on how I should manage this girl as she continues to grow? She has doubled in height since I got her and is very spindly! She will fall over without the stakes... Keep staking? Attach to the wall? Let her fall over and crawl, if they do that?

Mine waterfalls in my grow cabinet and the one on my shelf stretches out laterally. I stopped trying to get it to grow upwards because of how fast it grows and the fact it can’t support itself when it gets taller.

I would either let it do its thing and hang over or prune it to develop a shorter style plant. This looks like one that would tolerate regular pruning. I think I would try cutting it back halfway and let it grow from the base and fill out
