    My plant is nearly 5 feet tall. It has 10-15 upright stalks, each of those has many 'arms' /branches. Had this plant 15 years. On its summer out on the porch a severe wind storm bent it nearly 90 degrees. Been unsuccessful in attempts to straighten it -It has not responded to reorienting it's light source. Can it be saved? Thanks

    Sounds as if the stems are broken, if so they will not straighten up again. They might survive, it depends on the nature of the damage (if at least some of the transport channels are intact, for example).
