      Okay thank you. I did feel the soil and the top inch was dry so I just watered it.

    Give it support with a bamboo stick and give more light. I would also give the plant more humidity. Consider a humidifier or pebble tray

      Thank you! I’ll try the light and bamboo stick. I have a humidifier behind it in the picture. The humidity is around 70-80%

    All of mine did this except my Polly. Thru much research over a long time, talking to “experts”, I came to the conclusion that it was too much light. I have a lot of succulents and therefore many grow lights. I moved to a completely different room with less light, and new growth is staying straight. Unfortunately it’s permanent. You can stake them to straighten them. I wouldn’t do that because I was determined to find the reason. Over the last several months I’ve been cutting off the lowered stems as they get replaced with new straight stems.

      You will find people making the usual suggestion of needing more light, too much water, too little water, add more fertilizer, etc., but no one had a for sure answer, only guesses. After more digging, I found people with same experience and possible answers, and that was too much light. Some were so low they were below the the pot. I found people on Reddit dealing with it.
