My Giant BOP does this, especially after a storm or rain. I don't think I have ever had an unscathed leaf? I think it is the look of the plant, truth be told. The leaves, before they tear on their own are sort of curl inward naturally and won't lie flat. Am I describing them correctly? I think the tears and splits are meant to happen. You see them this way on all mature specimens. Welcome!
