How do I go about staking this bad boy? I haven't even had this plant a year! Got it last June and it was all small leaves with no splits. I ended up cutting off several leaves this winter to get it under control. I tried staking it to these bamboo sticks but its just too heavy. I have read to use a moss covered pole but can someone give me more specific instructions? I'd like to keep all the leaves so it looks thick but the way the branches of this plant go all over I'm not clear how I get them to grow on a pole... Any tips/instructions appreciated thank you!!
