What kind of light does yours like? Mine gets sunburned easily.

Not op but mine does great in full sun. Just make sure you acclimate them slowly. The other thing that can screw you is the temperature. A lot of succulents can't handle full sun when temps are consistently over 90F even if they're well adjusted so you need to take care to shade or protect them if temps are high in your area.

It was a hot humid summer, maybe it will like the sun better indoors. It just wasn't having it! I had to do partial shade.

Still beautiful though: https://imgur.com/gallery/BGcm0lF

It looks great! It could definitely have been the temperature burning it. I had my Echeverias outside from mid-March up until a week ago and even fully acclimated a couple of them burned when we had a week long heatwave at the end of August.
