Hi there, plant daft community! Does anyone know what to do with my bonkers blue chalk sticks?! It’s the ‘Mount Everest’ variety and boy they’re not kidding!! My house is east west facing so he really does stretch for natural light (despite using a wee grow light) and I need to keep turning him… hence he’s all twisty. Any suggestions to keep him straight? Do I need to start hanging grow lights from the ceiling?! 😅 he is definitely coming up for a metre tall though he doesn’t look it all bent over and curly 🫣

No idea how to help, but what a gorgeous exotic plant!
