In contrast to his parents (word)  
 
As mention before in his bio Punnet Leaf is really a no nonsense fella who places immense power in science and just wants to be left alone in his garden tending to his plants/experiments. Mama Zecora honestly missus the days when Punnet Leaf would hide behind her flank or listen with rapture whenever she explained how plants can be used for potions or herbs and etc, but after he got his cutie mark Punnet made a 180. He cut his hair, donned glasses he doesn’t really need and swore off hocus pocus nonsense in favor of science!. Zecora just wants her baby foal back.
