I'm brand new to this growing thing, but Im pretty sure a baby plant with three sets of leaves is pretty cool. I think sumthing may have damaged one of the leaves when it first sprouted out in the woods, but it was grown back in perfect triangle formation and is much lower to the ground than all of the other plants; more compact. Is this something to really be interested about or am I overreacting?

Even if it is off its not a bad thing less leaves in the bottom = more on top

Nah, when babies first sprout theres two leaves that poke out from each other, right? And then they grow in perpendicular from each other from ther. Mine started with three sets of leaves, not leaves with three points. It looks really cool.
