I just bought some pups. One must have been growing in a pot that have fallen over. The pstem is hooked and doesn't go straight up. Will it straignten its self to the light like alot of plants or should I plant it with the plant up and the crom sideways or should I cut off the vegetation and let it regrow from the ground. It is indoors but it is chilly here. I think it will grow slowly indoors. So if you answer cut it please clarify cut it now or wait til spring and cut it. It is small enough it isn't going to effect a bloom I think. These are new plants with only about 4-5 leaves.
