DoctorDanswered grow question 2y ago The leaves above the cotyledons that are not serrated are the first true leaves. There are plants that develop them this way or not. There are various factors that can influence leaf structure, including genetic variations, environmental conditions, and breeding practices. You don't have to worry. Even with the later serrated leaves, it can sometimes happen that they only have 3 instead of 5-7 serrated leaflets.
