Hi there JJ - if the bunch looks too heavy for the stem - prop it up until the first finger turns yellow. We use props and braces all the time as we have very strong winds here. Somewhere on this site are descriptions of poles and braces used to support plants. If you can hold them up , it is so much better than cutting them down early.
