Pup from bridgesii help

Hey earlier in the season my baby bridgesii got hit by hail and began pupping from there. It's off balanced now and I had to make this to keep it up but I predict further problems arising if left unhelped. Anybody know a remedy ?

And soon I'm going to start cacti seeds to sell at my city's market in a couple years. Which trichocerus would you guys recommend? Torch, Pedro, or bridgesii? Im leaning to torch myself but I want other growers opinions. I find torch and Pedro to grow at a similar rate.

You could just let it slump and grow crooked, seen people do that before with good results, sure the plant didn't look exactly perfect, but that was the allure of it.
You could probably cut that pup off though and root that, or keep staking it up like you have been doing, looks like the base is smaller than the pup, so you might keep having this problem.
Buy yourself some decent plant stakes, and something to tie the pup to the stake, make sure it's not to tight so there's some airflow so moisture doesn't build up under your tie and cause rot, shouldn't be a problem though.
You can buy all sorts of stakes for tomatoes, or buy really cheap dowel rods at hardware stores.

If you keep it staked it will never be able to support itself.
I assume it just looks lopsided? It's not like a tomato plant where it can fall over without breaking in half. I can't really see much in the photo. I wouldn't worry about it myself, but you can always bury it deeper. I got a few that look lopsided but they haven't fallen over, yet. If they get broken though, I just callouse and plant the broken part.

You can hide the signature of each individual member if you wish, the button /link is found in the user's profile.
You can start a thread like "what do you think about userX's signature?" in the OffTopc-subforum anytime. But please stop joining serious threads to post offtopic -nonsense.
