Hi! I have a dumb cane that I've had for a number of years (raised from a teeny sprout), and recently two of its stems have really curved and are starting to lay down, but the plant isn't realistically top heavy - it's only about 20" tall and has no other huge health issues - in fact, all the stems are growing regularly. Even the curved stems turn and go upright, but I'm concerned about the laying down. It does lean toward the sun, but I rotate it regularly for more even growth.
I'm concerned because these two stems are getting lower and lower, and if not for propping them on some river rock at the moment (see photo - it's the two stems on the right), they'd be nearly touching the side of the pot. I just don't know what's the matter here, and I'm very attached to this plant - please help!
