Should I move my String of Rubies?

So....I have an open spot on ye old west window. I put some cuttings there and may have fried some leaves..🀫 I move the cuttings to a better spot and they are OK. Now I have prime setting sun direct light...and I think my #stringofrubies might LOVE it. I have one at work in a blazing windowsill and growth/color is amazing!!! I have included pics of all mentioned....What say you #greggers and #greggang ....move her or don't move her....
2ft to light, direct
6” pot with drainage

West (afternoon) sun is the harshest and not many plants like it. Plus if you’re propping in water, the water can reflect the sun as well which could have contributed to the burn. That being said if your string of rubies is loving it there then leave them there. Plants all have different needs and some can acclimate to certain spaces easier. I say let your plant tell you what it wants. It’s beautiful by the way.
Place your string of rubies im a window with the most direct sunlight. Probably your west window is best. This plant likes a sunny spot. πŸ’š. It looks happy and healthy.
@GardenWitch learned my lesson on propping in harsh rays! I had no more room on my good propping window🀣 I moved her....I think she will love the extra sun. Thanks for the great advice. She is my favorite....don't tell my other 🀭🀫
@pegster thanks! Imma give her that spot...she earned it!
Done! 😁
