No plant produces Human Papilloma Virus, the virus that causes warts. It is produced by and affects people only. HPV is usually transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact.

However, you can also contract HPV via dead skin cells. So theoretically, you can contract HPV by touching a plant (or more likely a towel) that a person with warts has used. This contact with the object by the person with warts must be pretty recent, however; because once skin cells die and are deposited in the environment the process of bio-degradation begins to take place. So once the viral DNA (found in the skin cells deposited on, say for example, a towel or plant) is destroyed by light or bacteria, it most likely will no longer cause disease.
