Beginner Gardening: Pink Syngonium flopped over, 3 by raven_nevermore

I was just thinking the other day how much I love this plant and how well it's doing. Then I started thinking that it's getting a bit too top heavy for this pot and something should probably be done about it soon. Then I came home from work last night to find the tallest part of it flopped over! Of course my plant problems have to happen in the dead of winter when it's too cold to take them outside and repot!? Ahh.

So I'm wondering...what should I do for this plant now? Should I try to get a small trellis for him to vine up or tie the stems up to a stick? Or should I cut below where it's flopped and try to sprout new roots in water (that might be the wrong place to cut/wrong time of year or water not a good idea to root it it in?) The stems seem to have split apart at the bottom- does that mean I can and should divide it and repot one side in the spring?

This plant is high up on my list of favorites, so any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
