Hope I’m posting this in the right place. I have a zebra plant (I think) that I’ve had for a couple of years. It’s growing tall and falling over due to its size. I have never repotted it. What’s the best way to keep this plant growing strong and upright if possible?

Thank you!  
Aspiring plant dad

If possible I would suggest a moss pole or something similar to help keep it upright. It might also be helpful to repot it in a slightly bigger pot so you have room to add the poles.

Think a larger pot would help the plant grow wider and not just taller?

Moss poles are for tropical plants and not succulents. A regular bamboo stake would work just fine.

Im newer to plants but have watched a lot of tiktoks about plants lol. What I would do is when you repot her, use pumice instead of perlite in the potting mix and stand her up until she’s straight standing. If that means you have to cover up some of the bottom with the soil to give weight to the plant, do it.

Think this help the plant to grow wider instead of just up?
