Does anyone know why my Kentia plant is bending over like this, I had to put the pot next to it to stop it from tipping over. I watered it a week ago and it’s already dried out. Any tips.

I think you might need to repot it. The pot looks too small.

Bending to the light. Rotate it and move closer to the light source. Needs more light than it’s getting.

Repot the pot it s in is too small

The ones from Home Depot and Lowes love to have base stem rot for me over the years despite not watering them… some bacteria in the soil they use I think.
