Interesting training method, when I lived in California I tried training one by spiraling it using bamboo sticks and ties but it kind of got out of control and had to stop that method. I hope yours works better for you. sea of green training see works well from what Ive seen, but mostly used indoors.

I did not grow outdoors, so weird seeing ants on them. But if they are not hurting it, its okay.
Lovely looking plant.
