Ruler number one, SAVE AS A PNG.!
Besides that, try making this with less colors, like 4 or 5.

okay, im used to work with like 8-9 tones on one color, from light to dark.

i'd avoid having lightest shade just nearby an outline if i were you. Pay also attention to lightning of your scene. it doesn't make sense to have some roots having their down side highlighted and shadow on their upper side (you did the same mistake on your left branch, too).

thanks for the comments, i think im just going to redo the whole lighting part.

If those gradients are your actual palette you are using way way way way too many colors! 3 or 4 shades per hue should be more than enough.
