How to fix a crooked Lucifer plant.
+4
Lucifer plant will not straighten up. Was straight when planted. No wind to speak of. In full sun. Just planted this summer. Otherwise a very healthy plant. Should I try to replant (in the fall)?
I would put a piece of fishing line around the plants and gently pull it upright and tie off on a small twig driven into the ground.
Paula...why don't you stick a small trellis in the ground and try to tie it up a little..you can also use metal stakes that has a half circle at top and you loop flower stems through them. This is just an idea and might help. I have seen these items at a nursery. Good luck!
Crocrosima leans. Install stakes if it leans too much for you, but the flowers always appear to curve, like a hummingbird's flight path.
Maybe just use a bamboo stake and twist ties and stake it like a tomato. The stakes come in dark green. If you use some care it should look good. The stake should go into the flower head but not above it The plant is probably leaning toward the light.
I agree with securing the plant to a stake. Use pipe cleaners or sections of old pantyhose to tie it with. String or wire will cut thru the stalk. Your plant is leaning because it is following the sun. I'm wishing you well.
I think most plants lean a little when they get taller. If it bothers you, you could put a tomato cage around it.
Honestly? It's perfectly beautiful as it is.
I think we expect perfection when nature's wonderful sense of humor might be at play. Ever think it's tired? Perhaps drawn to a plant in that direction?
