    On Monday I received some spider babies in the mail. They are the verigated kind with green in the middle and strips of white on the outside. I potted them and today I noticed that the white on the edges looks like it is turning green. A lot of them are light green now. Was wondering what might cause this. I don't know if you can tell by the picture but the edges are only a shade or 2 lighter then the middle and they were white when I potted them Monday.

    I wonder if it has to do with sun exposure? Too little to too much? Just a guess.

    That was my first thought too. Only I have no idea which it gets pretty good light I think. It's on my bar between living room and kitchen which gets great sun in the morning even direct light for about 10 or 15 min when sun rises and also nice light in the afternoon. So I don't think it's to little, but there are no leaves that are burnt from sun. No idea. Plus my light perception is probably a little screwy, it is never bright enough for me.

    Maybe it's just the way it's supposed to be? :shrug:
