Woke up to my plant completely being on the side. Is this what it’s supposed to do? I’m keeping it supported.

It looks like maybe it’s leaning because it’s getting too much light from one angle and not enough from another.

The bottom of the stem could also just be weak so maybe a skewer or chop stick could help prop it up.

She looks like she just got disappointing news! If you woke up to it, was it accidentally bumped, maybe by a pet or elbow?
