No diseases, pests or problems to report, but I want to avoid them. I need some advice on this little guy - successfully delivered in fine shape via Mountain Crest.

I hear “put it in a shady spot” and “bright light encourages coloring” and on and on. Anyone have some actual experience with (non-grafted)  
Gymnos of this variety?

ps I see some green growing in-between some ribs. Looks healthy, just the opposite way I thought this would go lol.
