# So I recently got this plant as a gift and I’ve named her Snakey…

_Posted by Fallon on 2025-05-17_

So I recently got this plant as a gift and I’ve named her Snakey (thinking she was a snake plant but is really a spider plant… 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 But I love her all the same). She seems to be falling to one side of her pot consistently. Is this normal or should I be doing anything to support to grow upright? Thanks!

put some kind of stake next to the stem \& secure with either saran wrap or small zipties. also consider a repot- it could be her roots!

You're sure it isn't a spider plant? 🤔

She most certainly is. Lol I must’ve forgotten her name. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

That makes much more sense 😆
