# Polka dot plant growing sideways? I just got this polka dot plant…

Polka dot plant growing sideways?

I just got this polka dot plant today, and noticed it is growing sideways. I didn’t think much of it in the store, but looking online, it doesn’t seem like they grow sideways. Is this a normal or bad? If it is bad for the plant, any tips?

Thank you 💚

That thing will grow where ever you let it lol you could probably chop back those stems and prop them

It’s completely normal. You could prop them back if you want to

you can also keep turning it so it will maybe grow in different directions too!
