Can I just take of a piece from the top? He’s become very hard to stabilize

    That cat looks like it has seen war first hand

    The tail might be leaning a bit but he looks pretty stable on 4 legs. Don’t recommend taking any off the top, he needs all the whiskers he can get.

    That poor plant is screaming for more light, that’s why it’s leaning towards the light. Put it near a window with the bent part facing away from it.

    I don’t think the buddy there would appreciate losing some of his brain cells 😉

    /uj You definitely can! Other alternatives are 1) Getting bigger & heavier planter, and/or 2) Put some rocks on top of the soil. I would *lean* more towards getting a bigger planter though!

    You could cut off the largest stalk of the three and plant it into the soil (clear a hole first) and it would root and continue to grow into a new tree.

    The cut tip from the larger plant will slowly regrow new leaves. In proper growing conditions (seemingly yours as it looks quite healthy), you could grow a new tree from short 1-2inch stalk/stem pieces.

    I have a plant like this, I put rocks under the soil then fill with chunky mix and so on. Works when you’re in a pinch and can’t get a big heavy planter. Or check the roots you may not need to size up yet!

    btw, it’s leaning towards the light so like others have said can move it closer to the light and can also rotate the pot every now and then to help it grow straighter. Google tells me it’s called phototropism
