The little offshoots that could!

Jordan made me this planter and today we filled it with some cuttings we got (with permission) from his grandma’s garden.

I was just wondering, do you know why my ogre’s ears turned red on one side? I keep it in a window, and it’s the side that faces out that turned red. I know he’s super wrinkly bc he’s a thirsty boi (I took the pic on watering day)

My ripple leaf jade is sort of doing the same thing, but much less extreme. On that one the red is just creeping up the leaves from their red edges on the ones closest to the window.

Its sun stress! Perfectly normal and lots of people try and encourage it because they find it pretty. The plant is reacting to the increased amount of sun and protecting itself, it sounds bad but its not. I recently posted a picture of my big jade that's outside that's getting very red all over! Its gorgeous. A lot of the time the way plants present their sun stress colors is how they're named and identified. Like a Hummel's Sunset Jade is so named because of the brilliant colors it produces.

Dehydration/drought can also produce a stress responce but since this is only on the side with the window its definitly sun stress.

Some sun stress on two of my variegated hoyas.
