Does my panda plant look ok? Does it look like it’s stretching at all? I didn’t think it was as it has many side shoots-top to bottom and all the way around the plant.

I have this plant and this looks very healthy.

Yay! Best news I’ve heard all day! I’m fairly new at this. I have a few plants that did some stretching over the winter. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to add this plant to the list! Thanks!

It’s a little etiolated. There shouldn’t be spacing in between the leaves if it’s in adequate sunlight. 🙈

Oh☹️☹️☹️ Do you think it has stretched enough that I should “behead” it and start another plant with the cut piece? Does this particular plant handle this process well?

Oh good! It is actually starting to fill in between leaves now. I noticed today that it has lots of new growth! Thank you!
