# Well, I learned something! Note the difference in the darkness level…

Well, I learned something! Note the difference in the darkness level of the markings on my maranta. That is due to how much light the plant was getting. I didn’t know how low-light the plant’s original spot had been (due to it putting out new leaves like crazy regardless) until I tried a spot with much more light. The new leaves (formed during its time in a brighter spot) have a much more distinctive pattern.

Learn from my mistake!
