I have a row of house plants that all seem to be growing towards eachother!

Maybe they are trying to breed with each other! lol

It's not the sunlight they are growing towards because the window is to the right of the row, and they are all growing towards the middle of the row, like all the plants are growing towards the center of the row.

Interesting. Never heard of that. You probably know that plants will orient themselves toward the light because they need it.
Plants, and all of life, are amazing.

In addition to being drawn to light plants like to grow away from gravity and sometimes grow towards each other to prop each other up. A good experiment to do to test the gravity theory is to plant them on a record player and keep the record player turning slowly all the time. I saw it done once. The results were very cool.

I've got two apple trees in my back yard about three feet apart. When they were planted 12 years ago, they grew straight up. Over the years, they have intertwined to where they look like they are hugging each other. Perhaps your plants are just too close together and it looks like they are growing towards each other.

Is it possible that the soil in the middle has more nutrients? Or maybe you concentrate your watering there? Or maybe the plants just love each other and are morphing into a new species
