Hi everyone, I used Pipe cleaners and put the top of the plant under the first node growth, here are some pictures. Sorry but the flash one was the best positioning, usually I'm good with pictures

It looks good the only thing else i would do is move the pipe cleaner on the bottom so its directly accoss from the top one,thats so you dont(root it up).Good Luck &Stay Safe!!

I don't understand, could you elaborate? The plant seemed to bend that way easily without the pipe cleaners. But the soils getting a bit dry so I am worried about uprooting.

The pipe cleaner thats on the bottom of your plant should be dirrect accoss from the part of the plant you have bent over,attach the pipe cleaner at the bottom of the plant to the pot so it will keep the plant from uprooting.If you still dont understand,look at some pics of lst in other theads.Good Luck!

Evidently my countertie wasnt good enough. Just fixed it I think. Roots are sticking above the ground? What should I do?

you need to let up some slack on the top and wrap the other pipe cleaner around the main stalk...about halfway between the dirt and first leaf sets....do it in a fasion to pull the plant in the opposite direction of the first pipe cleaner.....hence pulling the roots back to the dirt,,,,
