One of my ZZ plants looks a bit droopy. All but one of the stems has a good bit of resistance when I move the stem back and forth. One of the stems that seems the most droopy, kind of flops around. I am attaching pictures (and the last picture is my other ZZ that just sits two feet from this one).

The leaves look nice of green, I didn't see anything crawling around.

The one stem that hangs down the most, I think it "dragging down/pulling down on the neighboring stems.

Was just going to maybe add a chopstick, add some of that gardeners velcro, to give some support.
Some of the stems look a bit wrinkled (just like little lines at the base). Never noticed before, perhaps always that way. The droopiest stem looks fine. No mushy stems, or yellow leaves.

Or is something going on with my ZZ?

ZZ's are one of my favorite plants so just wanted to ask.

Thanks!!

Overall judging by the last photo it looks pretty good, I would suspect maybe it might ought to be getting a bit more direct light all over the plant at once...it may be 'reaching; for the sun and that can make it leggy
