I repotted my largest plumeria (a Kauka Wilder) at night and then noticed the next day that most of the volume is on one side (the lower "trunk" was planted vertical). I'm concerned about all that weight devloping on one side and causing it to break and thinking maybe I should repot it so that the vertical lower trunk is slanted in such a way as to bring the heavier side more in balance over the center point (see attached photo - I'm considering replanting with the top tilted more to the left). Also, one of the support branches seems to be rather thin (next photo) and I'm wondering what others who are familiar with pruning would do. Thanks for any suggestions.
