yeh I used the same thing but with much younger plants, it looks like it's bursting out of the straw anyway. Bamboo skewers and twist ties are good for proping up plants.

you can take it of now, replace it with a bamboo stick if the plant still needs some support, that straw is gettin to small for its task now

I'm not a big fan of straws....that's actually how I killed one of my plants, doing something very similar to what you've done. I'm glad it's ok though. Have you tried chenille as a support? They're more commonly called pipe cleaners, at least where I'm from. They're the little wires with fuzz on them. They work great because you can bend them in whatever shape you need for support
