# My Dumbcane, while seemingly healthy and still popping off new leaves…

_Posted by Nicko.Suave on 2023-11-09_

My Dumbcane, while seemingly healthy and still popping off new leaves in November, has gotten leggy and weird near the base.

This plant was gifted to me from a close friend years ago and means so much to me. Is there any way to fix this awkward thing?
