Hello, we moved to a new property recently and I popped my jade plant on the kitchen because it where I tend to have it wherever we live. The front leaves have been green and it’s historically been low maintenance so I hadn’t checked it often. In the UK there’s been a lot of sun the past couple of weeks and as I was out during the day, I don’t think I realised how much a sun trap the window is. I watered it today and went to rotate but now the back is completely red 😭 I’ve never needed to rescue this plant, so I don’t know what to do, any advice please on recovery options.
Thanks in advance

nothing to do! just move it slightly back and give it time. Most leaves seem mostly fine and should recover just fine.
It does seem like it need more light in general to keep it compact, so aim to acclimitise it to that sunny spot but just take it a little slower than this quick transition obviously.
The red is basically just the plant getting a tan. It won’t harm the plant and it will adjust to the new light levels or you can move it and it will turn green again.

My little hobbit jade has also put on a tan.
