Default Bent Pstem

This is what happens when your containers tip over and you do not catch it.

This took four days for the bend to get as far as it did.

I have three choices to make them straight, all which I have used in the past.

1. Tip the container on a slant the opposite direction, this takes a while.
2. Reposition the plant to vertical position and repot the plant in a fresh soilless mix, this is the quickest.
3. Cut and reposition the corm in a vertical position and plant in fresh soiless mix, this takes a while and your plant will be shorter

When one sees this it is truly an OH SNAP moment.
