A vine somehow turned green (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naive

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turned green' is the definition.
'naive' can be an answer for 'green' (green can mean naive or innocent). I am not sure about the 'turned' bit.

'a vine somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'vine'='avine'
'avine' with letters rearranged gives 'NAIVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naive that I've seen before include "Rather too simple and ingenuous" , "Callow" , "Inexperienced or gullible" , "Wet behind ears" , "Unenlightened" .)
