For example, when plants take several weeks to get here from Europe, they are often in that form. Eventually the plant will resume a normal rosette form as the outer leaves die off and the plant rights itself in its new environment. In extreme versions, I will cut off some of the highly reflexed leaves so that the rosette will lay flatter and new roots will form a but easier...
