We used wooden skewers and turkey twine! Do we think in a couple months there’s a chance it’ll stay upright without its stilts lol?
We were gonna prune at first but it had so many beautiful chunky leaves—we didn’t have the heart to hard chop. Eventually do we think it’ll have to be pruned though?

light and soil is definitely the issue. succulents aren’t meant to be indoor plants unfortunately, and the soil looks too organic. if you can repotting in some rocky 1:1 mix of organic to inorganic, and placing in a south or west facing window
Those wooden skewers are going to get moldy. I tried using them once to hold up some plants. They got moldy
It is very unlikely to straighten up again. Cut it right down to just above where the small leaves at the base are, and new leaves will appear on all three stems in no time. Trim the cut-offs from the bottom to where they start to straighten, remove some lower leaves, and repot them. Four plants for the pain of slashing one!
My jade plant stayed up after I took out bamboo poles that had been there for a couple weeks! Try after its next watering; the turgor pressure returning in that position might help it stay up!
This is very effective and not at all what I expected. I chuckled hard. Good job, OP!
