@GigiPlumeria If you're worried about the wires on the stems impeding growth try this instead. Make a circle of wire larger than the base of the pot but smaller than the rim. Wrap a few wires around the circle (kind of like a big spider) long enough to reach the stem tips. Then just wire the stem ends as low as you feel comfortable. It may end up looking like an umbrella frame with the tips of the ribs tied to a fat umbrella stand.
