# My zz plant has been doing great but recently its taller stems have…

_Posted by Melody on 2025-08-11_

My zz plant has been doing great but recently its taller stems have started to lean.

I think they grew a bit too tall and I didn’t rotate the pot enough but now they have a very big lean (almost 90°). I don’t know what to do I rotated it so hopefully to will grow back right and supported it against the wall. I also recently repotted it into a chunky soil kid and the roots were very healthy.

Is this normal and is there any way to fix the lean with a trelice or something or should I just wait it out?

Thank you in advance!!!
