Re: Question of the week

Jim-the only thing in my studies I can think of that would explain would be "lack of something." I know orchids leaves will go into almost a fan or accordion effect when they are lacking in certain nutrients or water. I can't imagine a pencil cactus lacking in water so it would certainly be something else. Viruses also cause distortion so viral maybe? ----- Original Message ----- From: "james singer" <islandjim1@verizon.net>

Has anyone ever seen a pencil plant [Euphorbia tirycalli] tie itself in
a knot and/or know why it might do such a thing?
