# I just took home this spineless yucca the other day. it is leaning…

_Posted by micaela on 2025-05-23_

I just took home this spineless yucca the other day. it is leaning and was even leaning at the nursery. is this OK? I wish it was straight for aesthetic purposes but I don’t want to damage it. should I leave it? is there a way to fix it? why is it leaning? thanks for the help! I don’t know anything about this plant and I’m not very experienced w succulents

My sister has one and it leans, too. It drove her nuts at first but now she loves it. They are just cool looking and have character. Yours is beautiful - enjoy!

It’s leaning toward the window to try to get sunlight! It will take a while, but if you rotate it so that it leans away, it will slowly start to go back toward the sunlight:) in the process of training my rubber tree right now. Or if you’re inpatient you could also do a little adjust with the soil to fix the angle, but this might be messy and time consuming. Either way if it bothers you it’s definitely fixable 😁
