Hello! I have a FLF that came from Aldi about 7-8 years ago. I bought two at the time (one for me and one for a friend) and noticed as I was loading them into my car that one had suffered some damage. I figured I’d keep the damaged one and if it survived that would be nice but if not I’d just replace it one day.
One of her two/three branches ended up being lost, but otherwise she’s survived! However, she is pretty much thriving sideways, but has more recently started to grow out the opposite direction. The bald branch in the center (just about where the other branch broke off) is super crispy and I’m sure a total loss.
We recently redid the room where she had been living, and she did a brief stint (maybe two months?) in another nearby room with a similar lighting situation. I was getting ready to repot her before returning her to her original spot, but was wondering if I need to take the opportunity to cut the weird arms off and try again for an upright tree.
Now that she’s been around for so long I’m a little more hesitant to replace her, but also don’t really know what I can do to help her out!
Does anybody have any suggestions for cutting and/or adding support? Or is there no hope for an upright tree with what is left?

damn thats a really weird one. cut the perpendicular shoot and root it in water.
middle shoot: cut at the same height as the right branch’s growth point and water it.
