It’s not getting enough light that’s why it’s bending/reaching.

That pot also looks a bit big

Yeah. Unfortunately I only have them on a porch for now. Moving in a couple of weeks.

I would move it when you can but for now you could prop it up with a bamboo stick and after a while it will stay up (I did this with a rescue)
