Some of my succulents have turned purple? Is that bad? What do I need to do to help them turn green? They’re all sitting in my windowsill. Thank you for any advice!

    I'm not entirely sure, you should get a second opinion, but it might be from underwattering? Are the leaves particularly dry and crunchy? It also might be from too much light but as I said I'm not an expert

    Maybe they’re stressed, too much light?

    Sorry can’t help but we have the same puppy pot! I had to do a double take 😆

    Are they soft? They don’t look alive to me. I have the same plants but the only time I’ve seen them that color was when my order was frozen in route and they all died. How cold is the spot you have them?

    Mine are in a SE window and they get a ton of morning light

    Sun stress? If so, you could try screening them slightly or pulling them back a little from the windowsill. But as long as they are still putting out new growth, they’re fine!

    It’s sun stress which can be ok. Just keep an eye on them. It’s the same as other succulents turning pink or red or blue. It’s from the sun. Most growers want the change in colors. Best course of action would be to research each plant to determine if it’s too much for the plant. I just pulled a couple of mine away from the grow light because they were turning purple. I preferred them not so dark. In my pic, all those haworthias and Gasteria were green at one point.

    I have Gasteria mini and when I just bring it and put under the grow lamp it turned red. After some time, I haven’t done anything it’s back to green and growing well) so looks like temporary stress or adopting period.
