mine does 🤷 i think they’re more fun when they’re a little wonky

these aren’t limp or loose in the soil even — just tells a story about the lighting over its lifespan

Mine also leans a bit like that, I think it’s just part of the way they grow which is nice I think! It looks lovely!

Leaning in plants is a sign of low turgor pressure, but for most ZZ’s they just lean a little as they grow in. If the soil is completely dried out and it’s been a few weeks you could give it some water to see if it really is just low turgor pressure, but I’m sure it’s fine.
