I bought this off of FB marketplace today, I didnt realize it had damage on the top.. will it still grow new pads?? 😭 (Im fine with the damage in the front) ..and only one side is variegated, is that also normal? 🥺

I would fertilize it if you haven’t and allow it some sun for 6hrs indirect slow but steady and just remember it’s a succulent let it dry out in between watering.
