I picked up one of my first succulents at a local farmer’s market in late summer. It was completely green and had multiple flower-like leaf patterns on a single stalk. It was gorgeous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I brought that succulent home, I had no idea how to care for it. So I did the best I could. In time, I realized that it needed a lot more sunlight than I could provide, so I placed the surviving cuttings under a grow light. Within weeks, the tips of those cuttings turned a lovely shade of red! To say I was surprised would be an understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it was easy to determine why my succulent’s tips were turning red. But there are a few reasons why this phenomenon happens on occasion. Sun stress, water stress, and other types of stress can cause succulents to change color. It’s important to understand how to care for your succulent if the tips are turning red or soft so that you know whether it’s a normal stressing signal or a sign of certain death<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
