This plant isn’t a climber as much as its a walking plant.

I would chop and prop until I have a nice bushy guy, but that’s me.

That’s a trailing plant, just let it trail across the windowsill 😊

I had the same fear when mine did this! I learned that this is just what they do. They like to bend and drop. He’s totally fine. But like another comment said, if you want more than just one long vine, cut and prop

It’s a ground cover, plant it in a hanging basket so it can cascade over the sides

Si tu veux alourdir un pot, il éxiste l’astuce de remplacer, lors du rempotage, les traditionnelles billes d’argile qui assurent le drainage au fond du pot par du graviers ou des petits cailloux . L’eau passera au travers de la même manière . Si tu ne veux pas que les racines se mélangent aux cailloux au fond du pot , alors met un peu de géo-textile au dessus du gravier, avant de mettre le substrat . On trouve facilement du gravier dans la plupart des jardineries .

I like it, what is it?

That’s a tradescantia / inchplant – they aren’t actually meant to stand up! They creep along the ground, and send out new roots at regular intervals (if there’s enough soil for it). You can just let it hang and sprawl, and it will be much happier, or else allow it trail into another pot

They won’t stay standing. It’s a wandering plant.

Get some clips and let it climb along the window

Thanks everyone! I didn’t know it was a walking plant, it’s growing like crazy in this pot so I suppose I will just leave her for now and let her trail 🙂

I would chop and prop every single node so you get a bushier dude
Jolieeeeeeeeee
Really impressive that you got it to stand up for so long!! Clip off the tip, root it in some water, plant the stem, let it trail down and repeat.

This looks like a creeper plant. It prefers to hang.

Its falling over because there’s no natural wind to strengthen its main stem.
I would recommend getting a bigger stick to stake it, that’s the only way to compete with the limp stem.
