Yes it’s sun stressed and it’s okay. If you don’t like the way it looks don’t give it strong, direct top down light. As long as it’s not hot lights that will physically burn it, it’s fine. Mine are like this too. I like it. The new little reddish leaves are fun.

I like the pop of colour, I was just worried I was killing it… thank you :)
