# My beautiful jade is turning purple?! Guessing sunburn; crazy bc it’s…

_Posted by SuccySuccy on 2026-02-09_

My beautiful jade is turning purple?! Guessing sunburn; crazy bc it’s dead of winter here (7a) and they love sun so…who knows. Def looks like burn marks to me. Any advice on rehab/care/mew placement is appreciated. Currently in south facing breezeway with floor to ceiling glass doors and windows.

I guess move to a east facing or west facing window..

Don’t know much about succulents but I do know that snow and ice reflect the sun like crazy, you’re supposed to wear sunglasses in the Arctic so you don’t go blind, maybe it really is getting too much sun?

That’s a good point. Whole lot of the white stuff here and with the reflection…
