Red sand is almost an identical block to sand, so in my opinion it should also convert. Simply applying the #lush_plants_replacable tag to red sand would fix this issue, if this IS an issue that is.

Adding #sand to the #lush_plants_replaceable would be a little bit more effective then just adding red sand to it

Can confirm 🙂
