Pic number one is where I would put it, anchor looks great, holding the base of stem nice and steady. Make sure your leaves are not in the soil and you should be good to go, it's looking great so far, your going to love the results!!!!

Those two little nodes at the bottom of the stem should shoot up now, just keep the tip of the cola down! Everything wise will steadily rise up, looking great though!

I'm wondering how to pull this off with fabric pots??

Just need to make holes every two inches along the brim big enough for the pipe cleaners to go in and out of. Tie off I then using a twist tie method with the pipe cleaners so they don't come loose. Your pots will kind of bow in some because they are not as sturdy but will work mostly the same

Sounds good. The main stem bracing at the base may be tricky though.

Nah same concept, the fabric pot will eventually stop resisting and you will be able to get pressure applied to the base.

Also do smaller bends so less pull on the base of the stalk
