If you can 'direct' the prop roots, they will keep the trunk standing up, it seems.

Here are mine in 3 different configurations
- first one has the trunk lying on the ground for nearly 3ft.
- second one is standing pretty straight
- it has prop roots wound around the trunk, interesting
- last one is a younger plant, sort of semi-recumbent

All mine are growing under a massive oak tree, and the first two plants are around 9ft. tall. I don't help them out at all except with a little water in spring and fall when it doesn't rain. They'd be more thick and lush if I fertilized them but I really don't want to encourage them to take up more room than they already are.
