Mostera’s in native enticements grow up trees.  As they get bigger you need to provide them with something to cling to Amazon has mostera  plant support poles

@Beachblooms · Answer

It’s drooping!! Given where you are it might be underwatered ! That pot isn’t that big and the plant it so it’s probably super root bound and needs water 1-2x a week

I ordered something called “LEOBRO plant support stakes” (~$15 on amazon) for mine that I’ve been happy with. They’re these stainless wire stakes that interlock into a circle around the plant. They’re green so they blend in with the plant, and they just keep the stems reined in within a <1 foot circular area. The passive force of leaning against the circle also encourages the plant to grow upward (similar to the effect of being against a pole or tree), so within a week or two my plant started straightening out and growing upward. My plant looks much happier now and I like that it’s not taking over my very limited floor space. I know it’s not your plant, but strong recommend on the circular support stakes, it will encourage the plant to go from sprawling mode to climbing mode in a way that looks invisible and doesn’t require any maintenance (moss poles are visible and need to be soaked and replaced and can foster mold/bugs, if you’re tying the floppy plant to itself its stalks can get damaged as it grows and you can’t rely on floppy to support floppy, etc)

Support stakes photo, you can see some of the smaller newer leaves might have a little flop but most of the plant is growing straight up without needing anything extra because it senses that it’s resting against something
