# Help! I don’t know what to do for her. She is loving my laundry room…

Help! I don’t know what to do for her. She is loving my laundry room and I don’t think she will want to go outside. I can’t get her to stand up straight anymore.

That looks like an aloe, and that tends to be how they grow. But you could always pull the shades all the way up or get her a grow light, if you think she needs more light.

It will love being outside as long as it's inappropriate light but if she's happy where she is there's no real reason to put her outside in the nice weather. If they're getting too much light they will get a gray cast to their leaves.They do tend to lean over when they get taller. They just get top heavy. No guarantees, but you could try to remove one or two of the lower leaves and planted deeper to give it better top support. I would also recommend a pot that is wider than it is tall. It gives a little more stability as the plant gets top heavy. I would not change pots until it's ready for the next transplant. Otherwise your plant looks quite healthy and happy.

They do tend to be leaners. As long as she's not limp she should be fine. You can try to continually rotate the pot, but you'd probably eventually need to apply support/pole system if you wanted just upward growth. If you ever see any really old captive species they almost all are trailing out of their pots and have a support rigging. UW here has some crazy old ones and I was impressed with the ceiling rigging lol
