Default What's the opposite of staking?

When you want plants to grow vertically you stake them, right? So what
do you do with a trailing plant that keeps curving upwards? I have a
trailing Million Bells, but all of the branches curve upwards towards the
sun. I don't want to cut them all off or I'll have a stump for the first
half of the summer. Is there something else I can do to train them
downwards?


Weight the branches?

Stake them DOWN to the ground with hairpin-shaped things?
