It is a haworthia and what you are looking at is new pups pushing out. They are often reddish at the base to begin with. It looks good. How often are you watering it?

Haworthia attenuata var radula I am guessing. I water mine weekly in summer, twice as often in winter

@Liz they're not squishy at all, but i think the discolouration is slowly moving up the leaf? :/

@niksouthafrica well the past 2 weeks i've owned it, i only watered it once, but then again the weather's been a steady 28c/82f outside.

@palmbob knowing how much you've been watering it, i think i may need to increase my watering just a bit lol

The red colour is just the plant protecting the young pups from overexposure to light as they grow. It is nothing to worry about. If it's that hot outside, watering once a week at least sounds better

Thank you for the info niksouthafrica! Very much appreciated (:
