Baja_Costero said:Light is important, lots of other things have been mentioned, but in my experience this plant tends to be a bit droopy. The main stem may grow sideways for a while, at least until it is surrounded by branches that lift it up, and eventually it becomes a clump. So this is not necessarily a sign of anything particularly wrong at this point, but there's also nothing wrong with reexamining how you are treating the plant.

Compare to this plant in a 3 gallon pot (maybe not the same as yours, but it's in the ballpark).

Wow that's truly amazing! I really appreciate the feedback, and hope mine turns out okay.

As a bit of an update, I ended up watering it a bit earlier than scheduled, and surprisingly it picked right back up and straightened out. About a week later, it drooped again, but not as bad, so I gave it just a touch more water, and perked up again. It's still not fully straight, but thinking maybe this one just needs a bit more water than some of the others, so I'll plan on increasing the watering schedule more and see what happens.
