Why it wants that

It grows up trees toward light but under a canopy, so it is built for bright, broken light rather than open sun.

Too little light

Leaves stop splitting and come in small and whole; stems stretch toward the window.

Too much

Leaves bleach to yellow-white in patches where the sun lands hardest.
