Strange curved plantlets
Good evening,
Here are sone plantlets I’ve just got through mail one day ago. Two of them show a strange 90° curvature in their pseudostem. Do you think this problem occurred during the 10 days transport because the parcel was on its side and the plants in the dark ? Are they any others explanations ? What must I do to correct this tendancy ? Thanks for sparing your advices. Phil      |

Re: Strange curved plantlets
Stalk and tie them ASP. Light space out of sun.

Stalk them is quite impossible because they are very stiff and rigid. I might break them. I though about repoting them vertically but in this case the 90° bending would be under the ground. What is the best solution ? Phil |

Re: Strange curved plantlets
some kinda geotropism...i'd plant the roots as usual and just prop the stalk away from the soil...and let nature take it's course...

Re: Strange curved plantlets
If you turn the bend away from the light/sun they will straighten themselves

Re: Strange curved plantlets
Hi,
I had exact same thing once. Was very surprised. Nothing helped. A new leaf broke the bend and appeared normal and straight. I think I had to 'help' it a bit with a razor blade. It looked like it was giving birth to a new leaf Alex |

Re: Strange curved plantlets
looks like they have been grown in a crowded position and they have grown towards the light available. They will straighten up.
