Just prop him up and you should be good

When mine lean too much, I put a little more succulent soil on top and then a nice layer of landscaping pebbles or pumice or whatever like that you have.

thanks a lot 😊! should I just water the same if I put rocks on top? will they just go through the spaces between the rocks?
