What are your top textured plants?

I’m a texture freak. For plants that are textured I find myself β€œpetting” my plants like my dog. πŸ˜‚ My most recent purchase, Peperomia tetragona, has amazing textured leaves that were a surprise. I also love my Asparagus fern, Dischidia ovata, Philo Micans and Alocasia Black Velvet to name a few.

So my question to you all, what are your top textured plants that I need to add to my #wishlist?

@RJG that one looks amazing!! I love that it’s called shaggy-leaf fig too.
Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae is soooo soft, and baby bunny bellies!
Cyanotis or teddy bear wandering jew has thick fur on the undersides of the leaves. Iron cross begonia has a pebbled spiky texture but it's a bit hard to grow. I'm trying out Moon Valley pilea now, it looks similar.
Oooh this is a fun question! I’d say any alocasia because duh (would we say I’m obsessed? - yes yes we would) but especially black velvet and dragon scales. And definitely a Chinese money plant! Panda plant… I’ll keep thinking. πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ
@PlantMompy love my Hoyas! I am loving the baby bunny bellies too, I mean with a name like that I have to check it out!
@Tropicalgia I almost picked up an iron cross, I didn’t realize they were harder to grow. The teddy bear wandering Jew sounds fun too!
@RealSimpleMama once my black velvet starts to like me I will look into dragon scales. πŸ˜‚ I think I just need to get the watering down so my leaves don’t droop.
While not as fun to touch texture-wise, I just got a philo lickety split and the texture to look at is 🀀🀀🀀
@PlantMompy that is a gorgeous philodendron! I am definitely keeping an eye out for it!
I think some of the big box stores are starting to get some split leaf. I have tried to find a small one but couldn't anywhere so I caved and got a 2 gallon 🫠
This is a cute pep I’ve never seen before! Around here the peperomia fuzzy mystery has been popular lately!
@Alinaa I was surprised how bumpy the leaves were on this pep It’s silly, but calming to check in with my plants while I am walking past. And the ones that are texture are definitely ones that get more attention. πŸ˜„
Ooh love your Peperomia!! πŸ₯°. Rex begonias for texture and color!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸͺ΄
There is a baby bunny bellies at Walmart that I touch every time I’m there. I’d love it I just don’t want a large hanging basket. My son has a friendship plant. Those leaves are pretty cool. I also love the leaves on my alocasia rugaso
