Hi friends! I love these but what can I do with these pups? Will they continue to grow longer if I don’t snip them off?

The pups are stretching for light. They should look like a smaller version of the momma (hen). You can snip them off and re-root them if they aren’t stretched out like that. Can you give it more light?

Here is a picture of the “chicks” on mine.

Thank you. They literally live in my brightest window. And it receives lots of natural light. Not sure how else to help it.

Succulents need a TON of light, especially indoors in the winter. I haven’t found a space sufficient enough indoors without the use of grow lights. When the weather gets better they go outside and live their best life.
