Is this a chop and prop situation? are they easy to prop? It's been growing like a weed for a year or so and at some point it's going to just fall over
Wow how gorgeous!! I’d just sit there and watch her grow!

I chopped and propagated mine it got way too tall. It’s super easy to prop this plant.

How you manage to grow that in cold climate country? My aunt lives in cold place, furnace being on dried up leaves even with humidifier

Yyyyyeah I feel that. Sooo. My latest fun project was to take a leftover 9′ piece of aluminum trim from a bath reno, disassemble my cinnamon brooms and zip tie the branches all around & up the trim piece.
It looks like a 9’tall cinnamon broom handle. Very pretty. Then I used a bike hook and attached it to the inside of a straight sided planter. Then I zip tied the 9′ cinnamon broomstick to the bike hook. Then put leca in the pot and then placed my clear soil planter with the plant in it inside the big straight sided pot, tied my plant to the 9′ tall support with some twine. I hope that makes sense.
It is VERY sturdy. Even though its tall, the weight of the planter & dolly make it bottom heavy, and the aluminum trim & cinnamon broom pole is very, very light but strong. It doesn’t tip over at all.
It gets better. I wanted it to be on wheels so I got a plant dolly, put magnets on the bottom of the planter and on the dolly, so the planter stays on the dolly if I want to roll the whole thing out of the way to clean under it.
Oh, I forgot to say, my 5′ tall Dark Lord philodendron loves having the cinnamon branches to burrow in to, and now has an extra 4′ to grow and cling to. Hope this idea gives you some options to consider!
I’d post a picture but I’m not sure how to do that on a reply.

I air layered with moss before I chopped. It helped a lot with cutting down the time to prop.
