I received this plant in the mail in the winter. It was about 5 inches tall with four leaves, two of which were dead. I managed to save it, and it is one of my favorites. I just added this plant light because that’s a sort of dark corner and now all the leaves are heading straight up. Should I just leave it? The leaves look healthy and they’re splitting like they’re supposed to.

Yes leave it. Nice plant

I think you might need to move the light to the side of the plant that would probably solve the problem of the leaves growing upwards.
