Same plant, same day, different exposures
If you have multiples of some plants in different places, please share their different appearance in response to diff amounts of light.
Tradescantia zebrina (WJ) in mostly sun.
I recently decided this Begonia 'Castaway' was getting more sun than it was comfortable with and moved it. The difference is dramatic.
Peperomia verticillatus has dramatically different outside/summer foliage than the smaller inside/winter foliage near the bottom of the stem.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana with older, indoor leaves at the bottom, which are also bigger and weren't as yellow until they got a bit sunburned, and new outdoor leaves at the tips that are smaller and have a totally different attitude.
Tahitian bridal veil (Gibasis geniculata) with Coleus in tons of morning sun.
Same plant in much more shade is much more relaxed, darker leaves, blooms a little less profuse. (Photobombed in the forefront by Gasteralow bloom and Plectranthus amboinicus (Cuban oregano) at lower L corner.
