Other plants similar to Aloe are Haworthia, and some of these turn red in response to stress - the most common is Haworthia attenuata, or Haworthia fasciata, also known as the Zebra plant for it's striped appearance. Although Haworthia look similar to Aloe, they don't appreciate as much heat and bright light, which makes them turn red. Put your plant in a slightly shaded area, especially avoiding hot afternoon sun, and it will return to normal within a week or so.

What does that mean for Jade plants that are succulents?
A succulent is a type of plant that stores water in their leaves and stems. When you see a plant that has thick leaves like a jade plant or aloe plant they are considered a succulent. Succulents require little water and can tolerate dry climates and soils. If you ever touch a jade leaf and it is squishy or wrinkled it needs more water, that is a sign that the water in the leaf is not enough. Cactus and jade plants are just some of the most common succulents.
