Advice on embolism treatment

I have a situation where I’ve been nursing a plant I’d like to mother back from an embolism she got early on. She’s about 2 months now and she’s been braced up slightly and she’s been holding on. I’m now in a position where I would like to cut clones from her but it looks like I have mabey a couple weeks before I have 8 nice cuts from her. But I’m concerned about her snapping at the base before she gets there. So far she seems to have gotten slightly better and better but I’m still a bit concerned. She seems pretty stable but I don’t want to test her too much.
Does this look like she’s about to fall over?

Hello friend. Get some cheap wooden stakes from Homedepot and attach them to the bucket. You only need a few and its good to always have some on hand. I've used two bungy cords one on the bottom and one on top to hold the stakes. IF the plant falls the stakes will catch it so it doesn't fall. I also use stakes in soil-less mixes but directly in the soil. Good job and keep us posted.

Thanks Creeperpark and William. Excellent advice. It’s hard to see but I have her braced up just above the embolism. A bit more won’t hurt, Il look around for some stakes. And that’s the plan William. If she snaps Il get as many cuts as I can off her. I’m trying to hold out for one or 2 more weeks so Il get better cuts, but I’m keeping myself ready in case she does snap.
Thanks for looking out!
