to tell you the truth mine were never dark or waxy after I got it and for all of its youth I guess youth over the last two years I used to complain (here, too) that they *weren’t dark and waxy. I thought they were supposed to be that way, Dark glossy/waxy. And I started experimenting with light way back even originally because I used to keep it by the window and then move it under a regular roll lightbulb that wasn’t even pointed at it.
but for the last two years I’ve also heard that lamp you can see in the picture. I think I just need another lamp just like that one. Anyway I’ll be experimenting again even moving it a little closer seems to have taken away some of the black it seems to be that sensitive.
I also think that the last couple of weeks have been stressful because everything kind of got wet and dark maybe the last month. Then I got a table to put it on which is not quite as close to the window. Then I got the shade because they chop down my tree outside and it looks grotesque.
but now that we’re all set up with a table and a re-pot that should last a very long time we’re going to get the light right how we like it. I’ve had a timer for a long time and I run at 7 to 7. it even already has an extra plug in it.
But I live in the same room so I have to have it so I can order so that it doesn’t …annoy me, The light, of course. I don’t do bright.

not without sunglasses.
