It looks like possibly overwatering. Usually claw shaped leaves are because of over watering

[shawncook]

hmmmm, ok cuz it has great drain off. Thanks Ill cut back on my watering I normally water every other day. I think I will wait for the plant to tell me it wants water I have heard that the leaves will start to lower when it wants water.

'feel' the pot daily, that is a great way to tell before the leaves wilt

[shawncook]

what do you mean by "feel"

[redtails]

The weight of it, notice the diff between dry and wet and you can tune yourself to automatically know when they will need to be watered.

I like to stick a finger an inch or two into the soil in a corner to feel if it's still wet under there, otherwise I have to move all sorts of crap around to pick it up lol.

Well I sort of lift, and tilt the pot. It can still be moist to the finger, but developing dry spots. The reason I tilt is so I can 'feel' the weight of the plant and the weight of the pot.

Put fresh soil in a pot from the bag. That is about minimum weight. At least that is a start. Then water it. Feel that...........now comes the really, really hard and most important part.................remember what it felt like. :jointsmile:

I gave up and bought an eleven dollar moisture meter. Definitely the way to go. I still spend a lot of time with my plants, but the meter doesn't lie, as long as you check at a couple different levels within the medium.
