Are the leaves overly soft/floppy or do they feel stiff like normal? Also can you add a picture of where the plant meets the pot? It’s possible the plant just rooted a little wonky. Happens with mine sometimes. Also if its been dry for a while, give it some water

I watered it last night and I think it may be a bit perkier today. Thanks a lot! x

Its nodes(where the little root is) is a little wonky as I suspected but it’ll fix on its own as it grows. Other than that, it seems fine!
