How to add supports to philodendron?

Hello! Need some advice for adding supports to my #Philodendron. Used chat gpt and it suggested either bendable moss poles or the extendable vertical support pictured. I’m leaning towards moss poles. I’ve never used them before so any advice or specific product recs are appreciated! It said 36-48” poles would be ideal. I’m thinking maybe 48”, possibly 2? It’s in a SW facing window, 8inch pot and has been thriving. I water about once a week right now. I didn’t realize it had grown up under my curtain and is poking out at the ceiling!! Would it get enough light if I had it sitting on the floor instead of up on the table? I have a poinsettia from Christmas that sits next to it that has also been thriving in that spot. @SuperbRaspfern
1ft to light, direct
8” pot with drainage

By the way I changed the plant type to a heartleaf Philo. Greg had misclassified as a Brazil initially. If that’s incorrect let me know!
Quite a bit of space to stake things in. What are these dry, rough tendrils coming out in some spots? There are about 6-7 of them.
