O. TN is leaning over the edge of the pot. I removed a sucker from her a month ago and when I repotted her I noticed she wanted to lean. I thought she would straightened up but she has gotten worse. What does a girl do now? Linda

Maybe she needs a different size pot. Re-potted better and pot turned to get even light.
Is her neck to long?
Gee, an answer in 1 to 2 minutes.
She is in a 2 inch pot. I do not think her neck is too long. If I pot up to a 4 inch. I will be breaking off some of her leaves as they have curled over and down the container.
That is double the size of the pot. I think I should have known not to have repotted her in the same size but my original NOID is having problems because I had too big of a pot.
Should I break off the leaves that want to go down? Or, will they straighten themselves out?

How many roles of leaves does she have?
4 or 5 ;O)) that is what i come up with after counting them. Some rows have different sizes in them!!
I just finished giving it a bath and repotting. I only lost one leaf.
From what I could see and remember from the last repotting was I had too small a pot and it had a tendency to lean when I placed it in the 2 in. i figured it would striaighten up.
what I could see when I repotted this time was it was developing a neck and had a few roots growing from the neck. This time I made it go in the center and added more dirt. It wants to pop up but the neck it covered. Will the neck eventually root itself and hold itself down?

Yes the neck will. Was it in it's orginal 2 inch pot from Months ago ? Most likely it is needing a 3 inch pot.
Put some leaves down Optimara's and Optimara States are hard to find :)) I had one leaf and grew two plants and sent them to people who live in Tenn. :))
