MikeD,

Have you tried tying the branches down? In the electrical dept at Home Depot the have velcro cord ties. (They are straps about 3/8 of an inch wide and a foot long). You can loop in around a branch near the top and "tie" it off to another piece of velcro (with adhesive on the back) that is stuck to the pot. You can easily adjust the pull on the branch until it is nearly parallel to the floor. Make for a lot of sites for new nodes as well.

enjoy,
