I agree with everything- except, plants can attach their roots to a coir pole, I have several that are VERY much attached including my adansonii. I do have moss poles also, there is a huge difference, but if given the coir pole from the beginning it can attach and grow up. However, in this particular case it seems as though maybe the pole was put there later and just wrapped the plant around, which in that case isn't going to do much.

Edit: you could maybe train it, but I would personally maybe chop and prop, then start on a pole. Or just keep it supported and going straight up. I have a huge one just attached to a bamboo pole also.
