I have had that happen before while on vacation.
What a conundrum I was in.

Here is a thread and link which can help with your bent stem.
Pick and choose what can help your situation.

Just reposition(replant) your plant in a new vertical position.
You will be turning your plant to almost a right angle....but your young plant will sort itself out in no time.
Larger diameter plants take little longer.


.Bent Pstem. follow the thread.

Here are some photos of the conundrum I had.

Bent P-stems

Good luck!!
