Question
i have a green aeonium with huge leaves, the kind that will never turn purple or redden.  i moved it from a mostly shady spot to a very sunny spot recently and noticed very tiny brown spots on almost all of the leaves, except at the very centers. . . is it a result of too much sun?  sunburn? or is it something else that just happened about the time of the move.  
the plant is very healthy and hearty otherwise. .
i moved zwartkop and reddish ones at the same time, but only the green one has spots.
thank you!  

Answer

Maybe what happened is that your plant was attacked by a sucking type of insect. That may take a few weeks to show up. In the mean time, you will want Move it back into the that  Hopefully this helps.
you'll get the morning

Sincerely,
