In checking the plant over carefully, I noticed all the branches (except the "triploid") are 1st node 2 leaf, 2nd node 1 leaf, 3rd node 2 leaf, 4th node 1 leaf, etc. Every other node is a one leaf node. This makes me even more confused. As though this "even odd" is either triploid phenom "elongated", or the "triploid" branch is "even odd" squatted down. What is the correct term for this type of "even odd" growth?

And how come it took me till the plant was almost 4 weeks old to realize this? I must be stoned.
