Can you put it in full, direct, all day sun instead? It will make the arms stronger.

Yes it does sit in front of a window…it is top heavy and hangs to one side so I was hoping they would grow upwards if I leave them like this for awhile… but I don’t want them to get damaged.

Mine did this too. I had it in the brightest light window we have and it still went all leggy on me.
