Sorry for the filesize, I just realised I don't have photoshop on my new installation.

Anyway what is up with this seedling, see it has 3 of those fake leafs amd then 3 leafs as oposed to 2 of each we see normally.

Its the second mutant I got this year, first one like this though.

Known fondly as a polyploid. A bunch of them showed up a few month ago.

Most people think it is a genetic trait. Plants usually grow out of this. I've always considered it to be a beneficial trait utilizing a greater amount of space early on to capture more energy. I had some blue mystics recently that displayed this trait later on in growth, rather than earlier.

Treat her well.

"Polyploid types are labeled according to the number of chromosome sets in the nucleus: triploid (three sets; 3x), for example, seedless watermelon."

its called a whorlled phylotaxy.
i just got one a few weeks back
sadly, however, i heard that they can turn out male - from someone who has had a good few of these that have all been males.
but i personally think its just bad luck for him - grow it out they look really cool
