Hi! Now that it’s summer, I put my Echeveria out on my porch to get some good sun and forgot to bring it in after a few hours ( full sun in 90° weather). I’m afraid that the leaves have gotten too sunburnt. Any advice on what to do??

Keep it in a shady spot for a while. Water it if the soil appears to be dry and just let it heal. The leaves with brown will likely die and have to be grown back. Make sure the leaves have fully healed before putting it back in the direct sun. In the future with all plants slowly get them acclimated to direct sunlight. I can’t remember what the process is called but basically you increase the exposure over time so you don’t shock it

Acclimation. 🤓 …you said it! Also fyi, try not to touch the leaves to much as when you do that it wipes off that white powdery film which is its natural built-in sunscreen.
