# I have this snake plant that has taken a beating, honestly. It was on…

_Posted by KMax on 2023-12-24_

I have this snake plant that has taken a beating, honestly. It was on a plant stand that had a decorative railing that kept getting snagged on everything as you walked by, causing you to take the plant stand with you as you walked by. This plant took probably 25+ tumbles in less than a year. That being said, we repotted it and got it a new sleeker \& smoother plant stand, and it’s doing great. New sprouts like crazy (that piece on the right “facing” the camera is only about a month old) and it’s grown like 8+ inches overall. Now, I have a new “problem” to solve. The leaves are sticking out at all angles and getting in the walking path. I do not want these leaves to snap now that the plant is finally healthy. How do I tie or get these to stay upright? I used twine for a bit, but then it started digging into the plants and the new growths were stopped. Any advice on how to bundle this guy to stay more together and vertical?

I have plant “tape” around mine to keep the wayward leaves in line. It’s basically a Velcro, green tape. I have a couple of stakes in my plant, wrap the Velcro around the stakes, then just place it about halfway up the stalk and loop all the way around the plant
