Hey guys, I have noticed recently that my Gran Nain seems to be putting out leaves at an angle. It seems they are coming out at about 45 degrees before opening up. The last one was bent a little, but opened just fine. The previous leaf is the one it is leaning against, and it was originally leaning against the larger leaf across from it. This one is bent a little more however. Is the a result of the P Stem not opening up enough to allow the leaf to emerge upwards normally?
Is this normal? I have been getting a new leaf every 4-5 days. They were coming out straight up at first, but now this. I at first had this potted in a 8 inch pot, and after 2 weeks potted it in a 12, and just earlier today potted it in a 20 inch (3 weeks after first re-potting). Each time I have re-potted just as the roots were reaching the bottom of the container, meaning they were not entangled, and they were not rotted, so I don't think that is the problem, if there is one.
Lastly, there is a small area of black on the leaf. Not sure if it burned, but if you see the spot of black on the leaf, I believe it "sat" on that and somehow burnt, maybe? Can anyone offer any advice? This is grown outdoors, and it has been sunny/partly cloudy off and on past few days, highs reaching 80-85. Thanks guys!
