My question: Is the lighter green color on the right side from it not fully hardening yet?? The left one had the same color \& eventually went away, this one just seems to be hanging on to it longer. I just want to make sure I’m not giving it too much light.

On mine. This happens when a leaf is new. It takes about a week or 2 for it to get its color.

Yea I figured as much, it’s just that it’s been about a month \& it’s still held onto that light green. This picture was Feb.03 when it had just unfurled.
