A couple of months ago I cut this tropical plant in two.
The one on top is growing indoors, just in water, next to a window facing west.
The other is outside in the shade showing great resistance to very cold nights (minimum temperatures have dropped to 4 or 5ºC at dawn).

Interesting to see the difference.
Is that what has caused the difference in color?
Interesting how they changed colours accordingly.
It's a great example of how the environment changes the plant - I wouldn't have imagined it would have made the color change so much. Very cold is definitely relative, we haven't had high temperatures that high in several days, and were -14ºC a couple of nights ago.
That is really interesting!! Guess we all -- plants included relate differently to sun and shade! Hope your week is going well, JM! Enjoy!
Magnifique publication! et très belles photos!
Very nice post! nice work.
Thanks & Welcome for your comment and your visit to my blogs.
Have a nice day! Cath
It will be interesting to see if it survives outdoors all winter.
Amazing contrast!
Do you attribute the difference in color to light or temperature? Quite a dramatic difference.
Nice colorful leaves.
Interesting experiment!
I remember croton fences in Barbados, some of them a brilliant red. I faintly remember that having to do with the exposure to sunlight.
