Trellis issue.

I was given this plant last July (2018). It came with a small trellis and the plant has grown around the trellis. I would like to, and probably need to,  increase the height of the trellis but I'm not sure of the proper way to do so. Also, I live in Spain just north of Alicante and would appreciate any other advice as to taking care of this plant.
Please advise and thanks.   See attached photo.

    It looks like a Stephanotis Floribunda.  They prefer a warm humid area so best grown in a conservatory. There are many ways to support it. Long canes or hoops or a carefully placed trellis frame behind it. All depends on how big you want it to grow. A metal style frame might be better suited indoors. 

    You can feed them in the summer months with a high potash feed, and mist the leaves to keep moisture in the air. I hope your pot has drainage holes. A good idea would be standing your pot in a tray of pebbles that is kept damp, to help keep a humid condition.
