howdy! to second what roberta said, i would put a stake in now just next to the base of the fan. caution on using a stake long enough...choose one you think is too long!! there is nothing worse than using a short stake and having to mess with it and swap out the stake when the bud is bigger and heavier!
then use a rubber plant wire, or bonsai wire, or a bread bag twist tie and secure it to the stake firmly, but make a simple open hook. gently place the flower spike on the hook and you are good to go. as it grows, gently move the hook up so it supports the flower about an in and a half below the bud. avoid completely surrounding the spike with the hook, you want it just holding the spike up....best of luck!
