In general leaves that are on the inside portion of a plant (or even a leafy vegetable) are paler as they are not exposed to the high light levels that externally facing leaves are.
Sometimes they try to compensate for this and may be generally larger than outer facing leaves
What else can I help you with?
Why do dry leaves burn faster than green leaves leaves?
Dry leaves burn faster than green leaves because dry leaves have a lower moisture content. Moisture in green leaves acts as a barrier to combustion, making it harder for them to catch fire. Dry leaves, on the other hand, ignite more easily due to their reduced moisture levels.
Why are trees green?
Trees appear green because of chlorophyll, a pigment in their leaves that helps them with photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, particularly from the blue and red parts of the spectrum, and reflects back the green light, giving leaves their green color.
Does cedar tree have leaves?
Cedar trees do have leaves, but they are typically needle-like in shape rather than broad leaves. These needles are usually arranged in clusters and can be green, blue-green, or silver in color depending on the species.
Do yellow leaves photosynthesis?
"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."
Why would a plant have water on the underside of its leaves?
Water on the underside of a plant's leaves can indicate guttation, which is the process where excess water is released because of root pressure. This can happen when the soil is very moist and the plant takes up more water than it needs for transpiration.
Is paler a word?
Yes, paler is a word. Paler is the comparative adjective for the word, pale. Ann was pale in the bright sun. Mary was paler than Ann, but Angela was the palest of the three.
Does a plant with green leaves make more food than a plant with purple leaves?
Yes
Pinkish colored wine paler than rose?

What is a pink coloured wine paler than rose?

Why are some leaves not green?
Some leaves are not green because they contain more of pigments other than chlorophyll, like xanthophylls or carotinoids which give them yellow,red,orange colours.
What is meaning of variegated?
of Variegate, Having marks or patches of different colors; as, variegated leaves, or flowers.
How do colorful leaves produce food for the plant?

Does the dahlia plant have hairy leaves?

What other than Sevin dust eliminates false potato beetles from the garden?
False potato beetles can be eliminated by spraying the leaves with diluted dish soap. Many insecticides will eliminate the pest. They can easily be removed by finding the eggs on the underside of the leaves and removing those leaves before they hatch.
Why are the new leaves all green on your green and white plant?
Variegated plants can revert to the normal green type sometimes. If you trim off the parts that are green, it will prevent them taking over the entire plant as they are stronger than the variegated leaves. Growing them in full sun also helps.
Why green tea is more recommended than black tea?
Green tea leaves are not processed for as long as black tea leaves are. Therefore, they retain more of their antioxidants and vitamins and are more highly recommended for your health.
What is the effect of deficiency in nitrogen?
A light red cast can also be seen on the veins and petioles. Under nitrogen deficiency, the older mature leaves gradually change from their normal characteristic green appearance to a much paler green. As the deficiency progresses these older leaves become uniformly yellow (chlorotic). Leaves approach a yellowish white color under extreme deficiency. The young leaves at the top of the plant maintain a green but paler color and tend to become smaller in size. Branching is reduced in nitrogen deficient plants resulting in short, spindly plants. The yellowing in nitrogen deficiency is uniform over the entire leaf including the veins. However in some instances, an interveinal necrosis replaces the chlorosis commonly found in many plants. In some plants the underside of the leaves and/or the petioles and midribs develop traces of a reddish or purple color. In some plants this coloration can be quite bright. As the deficiency progresses, the older leaves also show more of a tendency to wilt under mild water stress and become senescent much earlier than usual. Recovery of deficient plants to applied nitrogen is immediate (days) and spectacular.
