Adding soil for stem stability or just leave?

Thanks in advance! I was wondering if I can add a little soil to the top of my pot to help with the stem, or should i just keep it on the wire and its fine?

@TboneCapone You can bury that right up to just below the leaves as @beachglass mentioned and the buried portion will grow more roots too.
Happy growing and welcome to the forum. :pray:

Thanks for the quick responses. Is it fine is i use FFOF and Happy frog. Or should i just use more happy frog soil (no nutes and basic)?

@TboneCapone Should be fine either way really.
I just use a bit more of what’s in the pot. For me I use pro mix without any added nutes.
I generally have to start feeding after their 3 rd watering from going into cups.
