Is it Ca Defy or K Over Dose!!

[kingdamm]

Hi friends

My Alternanthera Sp mini / Naesae Golden Pedicillata is experiencing Twisted / Curly leaf growth!! read a lot about Em could not get into a conclusion.

Some Forums confirms K Overdose may cut Ca Up take.. or is it Ca Defy.. My GH is 6.. i guess Ca availability is some what okay.. using Tom Barr Gh Booster/ Seachem Equilibrium to maintain Gh..

Awaiting Experts call..

Honestly the Alt. mini doesn't look that bad to mee 🙂. Not uncommon, that this plant does a little twisting of leaves - as most Alt.s do, actually.
Is it possible, that the plantlets are adapting to new conditions - fx. stronger light ?? - they look like that !!
If no other plants are "affected", I suggest a little patience.

I agree with mick I had the same plant when I ran co2 and it did exactly the same initially but stopped after a few weeks once it had settled in and started growing new leaves
