| Did you put the base horizontal in the pot? If you didn't, you may want to repot the plant. Put it horizontal in the pot. After the plant roots well, which should happen soon as the new growth will be putting out a flush of roots soon, you can put a 'new' stake in the pot and pull all the old canes upright. It may take a little while of adjusting pulling on the canes to move then vertically, but it should be possible to do in a few months of manipulating. A rhizome growing upward is not good as it will cause all sorts of problems. I have done this reorientation on close to a hundred plants, and it works really well.
