Besides propping it up, and tying, it may be necessary to attempt to take a cutting. Eventually, they will produce side pups that can be taken and rooted, separately.

Outside of this, make sure that the plant gets plenty of light. Lacking in light can cause the plant to become top-heavy as it stretches.
