I have two Blue Javas that are starting to grow upside down in the sun. What the heck is going on? (see middle plant) Are they getting too hot?

I've looked at your photos and I can't see what you are referring to.

the only thing i can see is the leaf deformation that a lot of us have seen latley, im calling it the twisted leaf syndrome?????it will straighten out on its own, at least mine have?????

i use to have some problems with this kind of twisting i asked Gab about it and he indicated that is was caused by to high a concentration of firt so i backed off and they returned to normal in a few months

i would say correct, but i have not given any fert to some and they still showed signs of this

Well, when the leaves first came out, they were completely upside down (underside was on top), but as you can see it has gotten better. I have given them a lot of firt lately, so I will back off per Pauly's comment. thanks
