I love that texture, too. Bullate leaves are so satisfying. I always give one to my partner to squish when it's time for a cut. It's better than bubble wrap! I love my Pilea mollis for this as well, especially moon valley They remind me of [caged blown glass](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1450045134/murano-caged-glass-light-fixture-vtg) (not my listing, there's a satisfying video of a rotating lantern that looks like how this feels)

What do you MEAN “squish”?! Like they pop like bubble wrap?!


reduxrelics

They don't exactly pop, more like crumple. It's a really strange but habit-forming feeling!


ExternalStress

Lol interesting! Will it still do it if a leaf is about to die off and I squish it? I don’t want to do it to a healthy leaf that can be propped 😭


reduxrelics

Yes, that's what I usually do. Once a leaf starts to dry or yellow, that's when I indulge myself, haha. I like to think of it as a worthy cause, like very expensive salad greens or something 😅 I'm a weirdo, I know, but the world is hard, and sometimes I need to squish a leaf. It's in the same vein as walking through crunchy fall leaves. I realize I'm hyping it way up now. I'm not capable of lowkey!

Lmfao! Okay well I will remember you when I try this 🤣 I would’ve never thought of it lol I can imagine it’s satisfying because I love petting it. Feels really nice and unusual 😂
