# I need help!! Why does my kalanchoe do this? I felt like maybe she…

_Posted by Mannalee on 2026-03-24_

I need help!! Why does my kalanchoe do this? I felt like maybe she wasn’t getting enough sun which is why she was stretching, so I put her in more direct sun (because aren’t they a type of succulent flower?). Then she fried so I put her back to her original spot. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

she's definitely stretching for more sun - if stronger sun didn't help, maybe try rotating her so that the stretching evens out a bit? 🤔
