Scott: I think you will find the key to amorph. stabilization in containers is as simple as providing good air movement. Without it, the cell walls of the stalks never strengthen enough to stand up straight. I have seen countless potted collections with this same problem. Where we grow ours with good air movement, they stand up fine. A small recirculating fan will work wonders, or you can strengthen the stems with a regular vigorous shaking...although the family may find that a bit kinky.
