I think you know what you are doing here, you’ve looked after it beautifully
I think you should report it and get a better/more supportive moss pole in there. I know that’s not what you want to do but I think that is what is needed. In my experience plants are resilient, and it might get a little “shocky” at first, but it will be fine and stronger in the end. Or you could try and add some wood supports to the existing moss pole to try and give it some more support. But I don’t think that is the best option. Best of luck!
You could use a plank or a stick ? I’m not sure if the leaves will size up the same way, but it should work for support
Definitely rotate it 180 degrees so it starts growing around the moss pole, otherwise it will eventually keep growing towards the light/window, get too heavy and need to be propped up instead of just supported.
Its a vine type plant, so it will never grow straight upwards, it will twist and turn.
I threw mine in a corner and found a giant branch as support. She’s 4 now.

take string into the ceiling and tie the ends to the base of your pot. use more string to support the branches, leaves, and stems.
