Here are some of my psychotrias. The little ones in front are psychotrias too, they are growing in the ground. The larger ones are in pots but it's hard to see the pot.

I'm having a little trouble with my viridis at the moment. When I got it, it was absolutely fine. It started growing very well (although the older leaves got a bit sick from the climate shock of moving), and was growing very fast. Then I reduced humidity a bit, and the next set of leaves came out really warped and curly. So curly in fact that they had linked together, and ripped when the shoot grew through them. I trimmed those leaves off since they were so ugly, and now the next set of leaves has come out, also curly and horrible. But I thought it would have acclimatised by now . Does this sound like I dropped humidity too soon? Or does it sound like something else? It has also started putting out two branches, although it is not yet clear what they will be like... PS - I added some lights at about the same time as I dropped humidity, so it might also be due to brighter light or more heat, perhaps...

Felix, they are in the shade. I'd rather not pull them up to get a better shot.
Openminded, they do like high humidity but the leaves being stuck together is mostly due to lack of wind stress. Outdoors the wind gently moves the leaves back and forth. Inside, they don't have that. You can gently bend the leaf pairs back and forth a little bit every day and they will separate on their own after a while. Don't try to pull them apart just bend them a little.
Hermes, that's very true. You can get whole new plants from just one leaf.

Thanks, deff. Here is a closeup of some berries. They are green right now but later in the year they should be ripe.
