The plant is inside a home in northeastern Illinois.
The plant is given water every other day or according to moisture. It is tilted for unknown reasons. It is near a window for sunlight. Leaves give off a scent when rubbed.

Oh my god. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)
It is tilted because it is growing toward the light. This is called Phototropism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropis... If you rotate the pot of a indoor plant next to a window a quarter turn every few days it will grow straight. Indoor plants sometimes get (leggy) very tall because the light indoors, even by a window is significantly lower in intensity. :)
