indoor, no sun, dainty yellow leaves

Hi everyone, hope all is when in everyone's fig kingdoms.

When some of these plants (fig or not) sprout little pale yellow fragile looking leaves when they are supposed to be asleep but seem to be only sleepy and not asleep- I assume the leaves are so yellow because the chlorophyll isn't photosynthesizing light. I hope some know what I am describing-- it is very distinct appearance-- not a virus or under fertilization etiology. Scraggly pale yellow leaves. If my poms sprout leaves indoors in dark they also are doing the same thing, giving out little dainty yellow leaves that shed relatively quickly.

Question/concern is... ignore and let the leaves fall and plant enter deep sleep is what I'm defaulting to. However, maybe I should move them into a sunny room? I did that with the one that signaled it wanted to be wide awake and gave out a bunch of leaves. My sunny room is not intense sun at all, just 2 hours of direct and 3 hours of indirect. Most of these are small 1 G plants, some rooting cuttings, couple 5 gallon size plants.

Sun or not to sun?

I put the small starters in the house under artificial lights. If you have space near a window, I would put them there. But only the small starters. Gives them a chance to grow roots if nothing else.
