I finally had to break down and move this King Anthurium because I had planted it too close to a path and as it grew to enormous proportions, it kept getting stepped on, snagged and beaten up. A space in the back opened up this winter when one of my large Jungle Drums succumbed to the brutal cold we had this winter, and I moved it out of harms way. But its trunking, and I have to support if with bungee cords. Will this plant actually climb a totem eventually?

I have never seen an extremely mature plant. This plant is about 5 years old and has a spread of 4-5 feet with leaves that are almost 3 ft long. If I need to rig longterm support I need to know now, LOL. Especially since I have a second plant also approaching this size.
