Anyone have any recommendations for the plant support/ prop things? I have no clue what there actually called but one of my plants is starting to flop over because it's to heavy and I would like to not put to much stress on the stem.

You’re looking for plant stakes, trellises, or supports! Bamboo stakes work well for single stems, while metal or plastic stakes are sturdier for heavier plants. If it’s a climbing plant, a moss pole or trellis would be great. For bushier plants, U-shaped or circular supports help keep them upright. You can also repot into a heavier pot to add stability.

You can do stakes or moss poles or coconut coir poles. If it's a plant that has big leaf potential, you may want to opt for a moss pole. In which case get one that has a backing (not mesh all around, it helps keep in moisture)
