>> it is now top heavy
Once I brought a big stem of lilies inside, with multiple blooms. It was hugely top-heavy!
So I found a big metal coffee can (Three pounds? Five pounds?) That can is 10-12 inches in diameter.
I set a fairly narrow glass vase inside the big coffee can.
Then I filled the can, around the vase, with small stones and pebbles. The vase is wedged in so tightly that it can't budge.
The vase supported the plant stem, and the can held the vase steady. I did have to wedge some supports around the stem so it stood up straight instead of leaning.
That gave me such a wide, heavy base that the tall plant couldn't tip it over. But it was very heavy!
