What is the name of this plant and also how do i keep main trunk straight.

When i bought this plant 7 months ago its leaves were curly and damaged as you can see some old leaves are still there , later i started feeding it 20-20-20 fertilizer 4 months ago and now new leaves are in good shape and plant looks healthy.

I can tell you how to keep it straight. Buy a bamboo or coated metal stake. Or use a stick from old window blinds. Insert the stake in the soil to the bottom of the pot. Gently tie the post to the plant. You old leggings or buy plant ties.

The growth looks like it is probably some sort of ficus... some grow fairly gnarly, some grow pretty straight, training it shouldn't be different than anything else, bind with sticks and twine or wire, and trim off growth that isn't where you want it.
