The $10 fix for a top-heavy plant that keeps leaning. Stake it, tie the stem in a few spots, and it's upright in five minutes.
My 5-foot fiddle leaf was leaning sideways for weeks. I tried turning the pot, didn't fix it. I tried a heavier pot, didn't either. The trunk just can't hold the top weight as the plant grows tall.
I got plant stakes for $10, pushed one into the soil against the trunk, and tied the stem in three spots. Five minutes, plant upright again. Wish I'd figured it out way sooner.
Not if you use soft ties and don't cinch them tight against the stem.
Usually one is enough for a single tall stem, tie it in a few spots up the trunk.
