I'm suddenly seeing weird leaf growth with my Elatine triandra (aka "Ah Pek's Plant or APP). It looks like the leaves were pinched in the middle and twisted, sort of like a candy wrapper. According to most people who grow this plant, it's a nitrate-guzzler, so I quadrupled my KNO3 dosage today, and added a lot more phosphate, too. Will this, in all likelihood, be enough to correct the problem? I'm thinking that this may also help my Micranthemum umbrosum to green up. Maybe when these plants get established and grow into dense stands, they need more nutrients to keep up with the increased plant mass? It's really a shame that the Elatine started growing out these weird-looking leaves, because up to this point, it was getting so lush and forming this beautiful patch in the foreground.
Is there anything else that could cause these twisty leaves? I'd appreciate any help. Tanks a lot!
