Should I be concerned:

Sage over here, has some green-brown edges, pretty big contrast from the ghostly colour. been there for a while, and I think it’s fine. please tell me if sage is alright and it’s normal (it doesn’t look normal in the example photos) Or it’s something I did.

Not sure if it’s the same thing but my jade plant gets red edges when it’s getting a lot of light. Apparently it doesn’t harm the plant. I wonder if this is a similar thing since it’s also a succulent.

sounds like sun stress. it’s an adaptation in full sun plants similar to how humans’ skin gets tan to prevent sunburn

looks like the farina (waxy coating) has been rubbed off. sun stress on echeveria (and similar succulents) usually turns the whole plant pinkish/orangish depending on the species

Okay thanks!
