New york but not really (Zone 6a)
My domino grew 2 flowers last season, but both times they just fell over from the weight of the flower. Is there anything I can do to help keep it upright? I know they don't usually last long, but it would be nice to see them upright while I have them😊

Put your plant in a heavy pot, or nest the container snugly inside something solid.

I'll try to find something should it grow flower this time around, thanks.
While I already have a thread open with the plant, mind if I ask what this mark is on it?

Yes, I just wanted to make sure πŸ˜…
Also actually upon looking at it more, it looks like the base is wrinkling. Could I have been unknowingly been under watering it perhaps?

I don't recognize that brown spot, but maybe someone else will come through here with a better idea.

It looks like a little spot of rot.

Agreed, but that could be from coolness, low light, and humidity. It should grow out of that.
From the gap between the soil and the pot there is a very good chance that most of the watering you do just washes straight through the pot. Time for a new pot with fresh soil.
Also keep in mind that these are predominantly night flowerers, the flowers open at night at stay open for a while (depending on heat and sun exposure) the next day.
It is what it is!

I was planning on repotting some of my other plants tomorrow, I'll try to pick up a new pot for this guy today.
