Are plants photo sensitive enough to mimic the colour of nearby plants?

Plants cannot change color in and of themselves.  What could happen, though, is that one plant could be pollinated by a neighboring plant and it would produce seed that contained some of the characteristics of both plants.

not exactly...they detect unusual higher-spectrum dynamic variables(like ultraviolet rays)using the same old colors we see to detect "Visible Light".

Yes, this plant prefers a lot of sun, more so than other plants. It will bloom very nicely.

Every plant is biologically programmed to thrive and flourish under certain lighting  conditions...  some need lots of light, and some don't.

Why questions are often difficult to answer but you seem to have a very \nreasonable answer to explain your observation. To really confirm that the \nnongreen parts of your variegated leaves do not photosynthesize as much as the \ngreen parts, you would need to do one of the following:  \n\n1. Starch test the leaves to show that there is little or no starch in nongreen \nareas and lots of starch in green areas. This may not work on all leaves \nbecause some plants do not accumulate starch in their leaves but export \nphotosynthates as sucrose.\n\n2. Extract chlorophyll from green and nongreen areas to show the nongreen areas \nhave little or no chlorophyll while green areas have lots of chlorophyll. Just \nbecause a leaf is nongreen does not mean that there is not chlorophyll there. \nIn some nongreen leaves, other pigments such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, \nsimply mask the green chlorophyll.\n\n3. Measure photosynthesis in leaf disks cut from green and nongreen areas of \nthe leaf to show that photosynthesis occurs in green but not nongreen parts.

this depends on the plant...different plants have VERY different requirements!

For the same reason that some people have brown eyes and others have blue. Its the type of plant they are.

it's reactive to light

most house plants should be able to grow under those conditions...they sell speial flourescent likes that are taylored for plants but a normal one should do the trick

colors become more vibrant

Various plants have different accessory pigments in addition to chlorophyll.These various pigments are more efficient at using different wavelengths or under low or bright light conditions. For instance, many rain forest plants that live on the forest floor have a reddish undercoating to trap certain wavelengths of light. So, the various colors are adaptations to handle different growing conditions and allow the plant to grow adequately in areas where other plants cannot grow well.

Make a sunset background.  Add some cacti.  Then let them color.  Even add some plastic wildlife

Pretty much the same, with varying patchiness somewhat different to what it looks like in visible light.

A true colour image will look the same as the object of which the image was taken.

Yes. You can use this website to identify many trees with leaf shapes similar to many kinds of maples such as sugar maples and silver maples.

Absolutely - it is a plant.
