Droopy Toadstools

[ShawnSaucier]

So two of my three toadstools have been droopy.
My green polyp willow tree is barely opening over the last week but looks like it’s going to split. Pic below.
my larger toadstool is dropped over.

How long have they been like that?

 

[ShawnSaucier]

The green polyp for almost two weeks, the larger one two days

In my experience leathers only droop when they’re wanting more light and will turn towards the source or when their base isn’t supporting the weight anymore. The first option is easy to deal with, the second I’ve only solved by fragging

Ive got a couple that have slightly tipped forward. I think it’s a flow issue. I had strong flow which bounced of the front glass pushing them up from beneath as they grew supporting the weight of the cap. They grew without any flow changes for 8 months. I reduced the flow because it was blasting some new zoa’s I was acclimating and then they drooped forward hanging their heads. They not quite come back up yet, but the heads look heavy for the stalks now and the new flow change might take them a while to adapt.

Try placing yours where the flow pushes upwards beneath the cap and in the opposite direction to the bend. It’s probably grown with flow supporting it and a change has resulted in the droop.
