yeh they are a bit clawish. the soil i added only about an inch ontop to top up and its different to the rest. it has potting soil perlite and dolomite/garden lime to fix a ph problem. its horrible soil and it is very clumpy, but i needed to fix the ph etc. i changed the mix after i knew, it holds moisture too well and is very dense. the other soil underneath is better but doesnt dry out untill the top does etc.
the larger fan claws might just be from being pushed up against other plants as it was squeezed between two plants as its getting crowded and i immediately took photo maybe not though, basically every leaf is a mutant of some sort. the flash makes it darker green but they were a little too dark anwyay.
there have been many problems just trying to get them finished now though. had very bad ph problems for about 6 weeks where they were well below 6 maybe 5, only stabilised at 6.4/6.5 for the past month at most..
chopped that branch and i dont think it had been snapped as theres a halfinch bulge at the node which is like concrete.
