It looks like a Tropic Snow - I had one even bigger and when I moved it, the stem bent like yours. I cut it at the base, trimmed the stem a bit and after rooting it in water, repotted it - I also cut off 5 of the 13 large leaves. I left the root in the original pot and it has since grown two new stems, while the repotted "cutting" is back to 14 leaves with another one coming! I think mine was just top heavy, but this treatment may work for your plant as well. Here's a pic of the "big cutting" - wish I could post one of the original stem with its two new stems, but I don't seem to be able to. Good luck!
