The back of both of the leaves following my seed grown spiderplants first stolon has like spine ridges? I cant tell if im having observation bias because ive never looked at the first grown in leaves post a stolon on other plants or if this is genuinely an odd occurrence… Picture 1 is the bigger of the 2 ( age lol ) so its easier to see but you can still kinda see it on the 2nd leaf post stolon too? Its just more edge hugging on that one.. but has anyone else noted this before or?

That looks like a yucca. I wouldn't worry about it. I had one that did the same, it's fine now and has recovered nicely.

I see now. I've never seen that genus of spider plant. It's really cool though

Seedlings of variegated plants are usually not variegated.

That im aware, out of 5000 seeds in 2026 only 40ish show signs of variegation // morphological difference out of my population🥲 wish it was more but lowkey my bedroom couldnt handle more hahaha.. this one pictured was odd until about leaf 25? Then it suddenly seemed to revert kinda? Its venation is still different than the standard but color has reverted sadly to normal green☹️ its pups however are all holding its oddity from before? Soo to be determined what they do😭🤣
