Not really a problem so much as planning ahead, but this Sedum Adolphi just keeps growing taller and I’m worried it won’t have enough of a foundation and that the stems will fall over/snap off. I propped them up with toothpicks, but any other tips?
you could try using wooden dowels and twine! you could also just propagate them :)

They need a lot of like, do like sun light , when not getting correct amount of light it grow elongated, possibly due to plant next to it, needs to be in a sunny window or under a full spectrum grow light
いいね 1件 I’ve seen an upside down u shaped metal bar in a different plant today that helps support the leaves, so maybe get something like that or a metal stake that is soft anough to form one, only problem is your plant has leaves on all sides so could damage them

If moving the plant isn't an option, use a grow light. You can also prune the elongated stems, then propagate the cuttings to create a bushier, more compact plant. Why Elongation Happens Insufficient Light : This is the most common cause of leggy growth in succulents. When a Sedum doesn't receive enough light, it stretches to find it. Low Light indoors : Keeping the plant indoors with insufficient light is a common reason for stretching. How to Support and Prevent Elongation Increase Light: Direct Sunlight: Place your plant in a location where it gets at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Grow Lights: If natural light is insufficient, use a grow light to provide the necessary intensity. Prune and Propagate: Prune Leggy Stems: Use clean, sharp scissors to cut back the leggy stems. You can cut them to the desired height. Propagate Cuttings: Take the cuttings and place them in soil to grow new, compact plants. Create a Bushier Plant: Pinching Back: When a stem starts to grow, you can pinch back the tip. This action encourages the plant to produce multiple shoots at that point, resulting in a bushier plant.
