Hi everyone!

About two years ago I inherited this snake plant and last summer I split it into two different pots. I’m wondering if anyone has any tricks to help them stand up straighter and not topple or so much? They are getting pretty top heavy!

Thank you!😊

They are stretching to the light. Snake plants won’t turn back straight if you fix the issue though, you can use a soft wire to hold them together but don’t allow the wire to harm the leaves, and adjust it as it grows.

Get them into more light. It won’t fix the leaves that are there but it will keep the new ones stiff and straight
