    I've had this ponytail palm for probably 15 years. It has three shoots(?) growing from the base. One of these shoots has quite an angle, and is the most robust of the three as far as foliage. I currently have a stick propping it up, LOL. Suggestions? 20240104_154245[1].jpg

    I wonder if the plant has been growing in place without being rotated on a regular basis, resulting in the stem closest to the light source becoming strongest. If that is the case, then perhaps turning the plant 180 degrees would help the weaker stem grow stronger, however long that may take.
