labifleanswered grow question 6y ago Hey gardener! It's because your soil is loaded with nutrients, so your little plants are shocked and have the first leaves that are deformed, but as you can see, generally the leaves that grow afterward return to their classic shape. It's just a reaction to the nutrients; you'll see that if you plant everything in less fertilized soil, you'll be able to see the leaves grow normally. Good luck, bella ciao!
