I recently moved into a condo in Florida and it has some lovely plants. There are two plumeria pudica trees, which are now top-heavy with flowers. The tree with three stems is leaning from the weight, and when i moved it into a more upright position the ground moved. I am worried that a good rain will uproot the tree. I tied the tree to the other tree (which has a single stem.) I'm not sure what else to do. Should I buy a tall stake from Home Depot and just tie it to the stake? Or just leave it tied to the other tree?

I don't know why the trunks are so skinny. It's in full sun all afternoon. I haven't done anything to the soil. As I said, I just moved here so I don't know what the previous owner did.
Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.
As you can probably guess, I don't have any experience in gardening!

The rope is probably good for now. Wouldn't hurt to put a stake in it, though.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Thanks. I guess I'll see if the twine holds and in the meantime try and find a stake.
