Odd twisted leaves and strange motelling

Definitely looks strange, are those type of symptoms spreading? Or does the leaf sort of just come out looking that way when the leaves grow? Unless it is actively spreading to new leaves, I wouldn't worry about it too horribly much. But one of our vets may see something here that I am missing. Best of luck buddy.

Hi, no it's not spreading it's like you say they just grow that way, they always have. The plant has always been small, I think it's just genetics myself. The rest of my plants are fine!!

Yeah I am also leaning towards it being a genetic issue. Now, as for the twisting at the ends of your leaves, that (I seriously doubt) is anything genetic. I just can't seem to remember what causes that. Honestly I wouldn't stress over either or of the issues, of course keep an eye on them, but as long as the plant is a healthy green then I think you're good to go. Just keep an eye on those leaves twisting and all, and if any yellowing, discoloring, or other symptoms pop up just let us know. :)

To be safe you might want to keep that plant separate from the others, by that I mean, if you take cuttings for example, make sure you use a new blade for each plant. If it is more than just an abnormality, for example if it is TMV, then it will be isolated to just that plant.

I’ve seen twisting of leaves caused by a pH imbalance in the rootzone and by Ca deficiency early signs.

Yes thanks for filling that blank in for us Jon, I knew there was something that caused it! I think that maybe RH can cause twisty deformed growth as well? Not 100% on that one though.
