Very interesting and useful information Tarev. Thankyou for sharing. The fact that it reverts back to smooth leaves with more attention is a mind bender. So I guess that genetic mutation is like a form of cancer that is triggered with stress. Geeze now I feel bad about my first warts. I just moved them to a new pot a few weeks ago and the warts are a protest. I am going to have to get over that I guess.
It makes sense though. I have a redish purple one that I have been giving lots of attention to and it is growing like crazy with all smooth leaves. It has had some sludge from the bottom of the goldfish pond for snacks and plenty of water. hmmmm.......
Stush, as a grown up grandchild I love them too! If my grandparents had some of those I would probably been in trouble for touching them to much. I had a pet persimmon tree so I can only imagine how in love I would have been with one of these as a kiddo.
