It’s probably sun stressed if it looks healthy otherwise! Sun stress can make certain plants turn red or pink. All it means is that it’s getting lots of sun. Kinda like humans in the summer time when we get tan.

Yes this happens to all my succulents, even during winter, dont worry too much about it!

The red is from sun stress (like a sun tan or sunburn you or I would get). This is a variegated jade. I also have one
