Straightening Phal Bloom Spikes

[czygyny]

Most of my Phals are easy to get their bloom spikes up vertical before letting it come back horizontal.

This particular one is a very vigorous Home Depot noid, and it likes to put out its spikes in a horizontal direction, something I would rather not have happen as it does not look as well as flowers carried up over the plant and it takes up valuable growing space.

Look what it does when I try to clip it to a stake! It bucks and fights it all the way. No matter how I clip it, it will push at the clips and go any way but up.

Last time it bloomed the spike snapped itself nearly in half when I took a bottom clip off for a day.

It is just about tall enough for me to let it go on its own in this image, but does anyone have any ideas on how to manage this wild bronco a bit better next time?
