| I have a tall cactus in a window with a few tiny little babies at the bottom of the plant. The tall plant is leaning AWAY from the sun. Should I rotate the plant and if so, how often? |

| 1/4 turn per week is usually recommended. Somehow I doubt sun-avoidance is the cause of the lean, however. Porkpal |

| I rotate my cacti 1/2 turn every week or two. If the plant is leaning toward the light, you can aim the lean away from the sun and it will self-correct. If the plant is leaning just because it likes to lean, the orientation will make no difference. |

| Your cactus might need to be repositioned slightly in its pot to make it vertical. Will Creed Horticultural Help, NYC www.HorticulturalHelp.com Contact me directly at [email protected] I now have a book available on indoor plant care |
