    Hi there - I have a question to ask, which I'm hoping someone here can answer.

    I have a 'palm tree' - possibly a cordyline, or a dracaena? which is growing horizontally. It's currently doing deliciously scented flowers, so I'm leaving it be, but I'm wondering if there's anything that I should be doing, to encourage it to grow upright?

    Many thanks in advance for any answers! :)

    Claire

    Never seen a cordyline like that before.

    I think it might just be flowering before it dies.
    How well is it attached to the soil.

    It's fairly well routed Pete - it's been there for a few years - at least two.
