# I got this Chinese evergreen back in February for Valentine’s Day and…

_Posted by Niela on 2026-08-31_

I got this Chinese evergreen back in February for Valentine’s Day and it was half this size if not smaller and it’s grown to this I just recently repotted it but I was wondering if I needed to try to tie it up as you can see it’s wider than it is tall so I need to try and direct the growth into height or just leave it the way it is? I’m trying to have all my plants as happy as can be because I kinda neglected them during my pregnancy and now that I’m not pregnant no more I would love to see all my plants back to being happy
