You can get plant stakes or bamboo stickers and use ties to support

I would just take a cutting from the top and start from scratch. That thing looks like a monster😅

Take a cutting from the top?

### Erika kommentierte am 2025-06-24

Yep, I just take a new growth cutting from the very top, I’ve propagated a couple this way. My own mama plant was a cutting from a friend.

#### Erika antwortete am 2025-06-24

Current cutting I’m working on getting big enough to plant

Oh yeah I’ve done that and same mine was a cutting from years ago. How would I propagate my cutting if I were to take one.

#### Erika antwortete am 2025-06-25

I just put in a small jar of water, freshen the water every few days. Placed on my kitchen windowsill.

That's so funny. I have two umbrella trees and I want them to Bush out. They both are growing straight up with just one single trunk. 😆

#### Erika antwortete am 2025-06-24

In that case, I recommend pruning😆, mine was the same until I started taking cuttings, and then it started to branch out in more than one spot

### Springvision kommentierte am 2025-06-24

I will definitely give it a shot 😁

You can buy a trellis from a plant shop or Amazon or just cut back the parts you don’t like.
