I was going to mention how difficult it is for me to judge light over the length of a day. When I see full sun I often wonder if they really mean the kind of sun we get here in the tropics or if it is some kind of shorthand for artificial light. I'm really glad that you who know are discussing this.

Just for me, I think knowing where the plant grows in the wild helps more. Is it up high in the canopy or low to the ground in dense jungle or in a sparse scrub type of cover.
