    I looked it up and what its mostly saying is it’s just experiencing good stress cause it is in more sun than normal

      Yep! “Sun Stressing” turns the plant red, but it’s a good thing. Looks healthy!

    It’s like how you and I get a tan. Not necessarily harmful at all

    Ty! That’s what I had been believing lol but I just keep making mistake after mistake in the beginning of my plant journey (which only started 7 months ago) and when it popped into my head last night to look it up online I started seeing stuff about sun burn and that it could be bad. So then I came here! lol

      The one at my place just started getting its Spring “tan” too hehe. The equinox must have brought more favorable light levels/angles. It gets decently red in the summer and fades back to green in the winter, even under a grow light
