Mary, your plants that tip over and seem to ‘grow into the ground’ are merely doing what God intended them to do which is go forth and multiply. This process of tipping is much like that of strawberry plants sending out runners and starting new plants. Once the tip has ‘stuck to the ground’ it has essentially rooted a new plant. You can simply cut the original cane off about 1’ from the ground and carefully dig up the new area and transplant it somewhere else or place in a pot to cultivate and give to a friend. If you simply want the original cane back up to train just cut it off where it has attached to the ground - no harm done.
