If you plant nether wart, it will seem to never grow. Actually it grows, but the texture never changes.

Should be in order from top to bottom. Notice the small patch my crosshair is over does not appear fully grown. But, when I break it, three nether wart come out. Now.. the to right there is a fully grown patch of nether wart. When I broke that, only one nether wart came out (none fell in the water). It looks like the textures are reversed. This could easily be because I grew my nether wart in a lit area, but even without light, the nether wart does not show the proper graphics. When grown in the dark, all the nether wart look ungrown despite the likelihood all of them actually are.
To add, I used torches in my farm for this bit of nether wart. I use iOS however, so that my be the reason torches work instead of just sunlight.
Confirmed in PC windows 10, 0.15.8, survival.
According to wiki, there are 4 stages of growth for nether wart, stage 2 and 3 are supposed to share half-grown image, and stage 1 (just planted) and stage 4 (fully grown) has their own unique image.
However in PE, instead of stages 2 and 3 sharing an image, stage 1 and 4 do, in other words a fully grown nether wart looks identical to one that has been just planted, and stage 3, which isn't fully grown yet, looks largest (as if it was fully grown).
This is happening in 15.10. Yesterday, I planted a small netherwart garden in overworld in a cellar type environment - low roof a few torches. I planted them using Windows 10 edition. Today I checked it using Android MCPE, and found all the netherwart appeared to be at stage 1 so I wasn't going to harvest it, however, upon harvesting 4 netherwart plants I collected 8 netherwarts, so at least 2 of the 4 had to be at stage 4, based on the minecraft wiki info. Note - this is in my Realm.
I've noticed the texture does change when exposed to ample sky light (9 to be exact), and sky light only (Sky light is sunlight during day, which is used to calculate sunlight depending on the time). Block light doesn't cut it.
