I recently (a few weeks ago) moved my Chinese evergreen to try and get the stems to straighten. It doesn’t seem to like it. There are a couple leaves turning yellow. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    How long has it been in that pot? Is it root bound? Looks like it's not taking up nutrients.

      Probably yes. It likely does need to be repotted.

    If it were me, I would try wrapping it with bonsai wire to slowly over time train it to get straighter and straighter. I have no experience with it but I would assume if done correctly, you could change the bend.

      Alternatively, chop and prop to start over.
