There's actually a green version \& the version that turns red. Do you know which one you have? Also, I have the red version \& despite getting direct southern exposure + a few more hours of grow light-they lost their color. I know the plant is healthy because it has growth shoots. Can't figure out why it's not producing the red color.

I see these planted around my neighborhood that get full Southern California sun all day and they’re only the slightest bit red. 🤷🏼‍♀️
