Legumes

Hello Bonsai friends,

I have two pre-bonsai from the Legume family, one under a fluorescent tube and one not under fluorescent. They both go to sleep at the same time (i.e., they fold up their leaves, and with this particular species, they also put their branches in an up-right position). Does this mean that they don't care about the extra hours of light I try to provide them with?

I don't know much about legumes, but perhaps they are too hot? Wisteria put up there leaves when hot to reduce the amount of sunlight they are getting, other plants let them drop down.

Thank you, but I was referring to the night-time-close up of leaves. The temperature is normal room-temperature.
