Does anyone know if this is normal for this plant? Like the purple color to it? It wasn’t always like that

Is it getting too much sun?

#### Marissa replied on 2024-06-17

I wouldn’t say so. It recommends part sun which is what it gets. It gets mostly the morning sun and then the rest of the day it’s in the shade

Hmmm… not sure.

it’s like a suntan — it’s pretty!

I think it’s sun stressing which is when succulents and cactus are exposed to the full amount of sun they need. That’s when they show all their pretty colors. Mountain Crest Gardens had this picture of one, so I think you are good.😊
