I have a grandfather cactus whose tallest stem is about three feet high and leans 45 degrees out of the pot. I can't prop it upright. It is joined at the base with several other, shorter stems. Any advice?

Prop up the pot so it is balanced and won't fall over.

Repot the cactus, and deliberately plant it crooked, so the tallest one it closer to vertical.

Repot it into a larger pot and include some heavy rocks in the bottom like ballast to keep it from falling over.
