Over the last years, temperatures have increased a lot in my city to the point where in 2022, 41+ Degrees Celsius is not rare anymore. That also brings dry windstorms that have been getting more common. back then they used to be very rare. These windsorms burn the leaves of tropical plants like crotons.

Today we had a windsorm that felt like 40-50km/h and the wind was really hot and dry. My foxtail that I planted one month ago didn't get burnt but it's now leaning. You can also see the other plants have broken leaves and they look really neglected.

Will the foxtail be okay if it's leaning like that or do I have to prevent it from leaning?

My experience is purely anecdotal and is in no way intended as solid, scientific advice. 

 

Some of my plants have gone through similar experiences, and when left alone, they grow a curve back towards their source of light (sun, grow lights)

 

I have some that I've adjusted and staked, and some (a dracaena and my Majesty) that I thought would look really cool with a curve in them.
