In high school I wanted to be an architect. Graduated and went on to struggling for years working in retail til I finally had enough and went to college. Found out quickly that there was zero demand in my area for that and pivoted to being a mechanical engineer. I now have 13 years of doing that and am glad I went that option as I can go anywhere in the world with this skill set.

I read that about the texture as well. Don’t know about this version but like I said I have a red one and it’s smooth looking just like your picture. Also, my bad… says mine is a caladium.

Looks like a heart to heart plant that I have but mines red. Philodendron Gloriosum
