Hi,

The leaves of my swordplants often grow in a 'spiral fashion', despite being healthy. I'm fairly sure it has something to do with a lack of a certain trace element. Any suggstions? I feed a non-phosphate liquid iron fertiliser (with trace elements) daily.

If it's new leaves, then it could be a calcium difficiency.

A human calcium pill near the base of your plants will take care of that.
