My corn plant dracena is leaning way over in it's pot so much that it wants to tip over if I don't?

counterbalance it with rocks on top of the soil. Today I tried to upright it by removing the whole root ball from the pot and repositioning it into the pot but found that to do his I would have to remove part of the root ball or get a different pot. There is allot of growth on top so I don't want to remove too much roots because I think t needs all those roots to support all the growth on top I've had it for over 10 years. I'm thinking they do this allot (lean) and not sure how to keep it from toppling over. I wouldn't care but I gave it to my daughter today because she has more room for it. We did manange to straighten it out some but it still leans to the floor. Personally I had it on a table and I put rocks on it to keep it from falling over. Any other ideas on how to make it more upright? She does not want to cut off any of the growth BTW.

How about a couple of bamboo stakes?
I THINK but am not 100% sure that this plant can have its top chopped off and replanted, and also the stem that is left will also sprout. For better information try this site: gardenweb.com which has Forums for every kind of plant and there are a lot of knowledgeable people on it. In any case, the plant is leaning toward the light and should be given a 1/4 turn every week or so to try to keep it straighter.

Put it in a larger pot and stake it. Corn plants tend to be top heavy.
