My navel but out some nice big new flushes and then yesterday i noticed they went limb and look like they are waited down. What is this from and how can I treat it, i am thinking the branches they came out of are too small and can't hold the weight of the new flushes.

Here are some pics

Here is one of the branches


Here is another


And here is the smaller branch that the flush came out of

You can see how the new flush is much bigger than the mother branch.

As you can see the new leaves are the heavy ones. Just wait a whille and the stem will become woody and hardened off. At that time it will strengtened itself out.
Sometimes with mine the branch keeps on lengthening and it becomes too long and the branch not big enough to carry the weight. That's when I intervine and cut it off manually perhaps halfway so it will branch sideways.
