stake the plant (put sticks around the corners of the pot), then, tie strings joining the sticks. that way, it wont grow slanting.

did u put in in a windy area or something? may be the wind blow until liddat.

thanks

I agree with Malowie, it looks as if they have been pushed that way be the wind as they are all leaning in the wind. Other than that the plant looks very healthy.

Well,there could be few reasons why your Sarra growing sideways:

1.Wind - blow them sideways
2.Water - from rain make sarra heavy and go side ways or even collapese
3.Sun - sunlight from some direction only

I see you already built some support.Just take note where the plant touches the support.Some support can damage the sarra if sara leaning on the support.
