Recently I brought this plant and the leaves are falling off at the bottom like it’s tall with no petals at the bottom so I guess it’s leggy should I cut it down and repot or wait it’s shows it can grow on it’s own bcuz it was in a store with no sunlight

I love echevaria… I just can’t keep them because they die in my sunless apt.

SO— Worth mentioning a few things..

First, most big stores that also sell plants have the big overhead fluorescent lights. Plants grow well in those.

Also, these succulents in particular get finicky with being repot and moved. It’ll drop leaves and get depressed if you repot it while it’s in distress.

I would wait. Make sure you are getting it plenty of sunlight. If it’s leggy, it needs sunlight. This won’t fix its legginess thus far but it will stop it from getting worse.

If you take the dropped leaves and just lay them flat — do nothing to them, they may grow roots. Some do, some don’t. Some flower, some root.. it’s fascinating. Watch a quick YouTube on it.

Hope this helps.

They can grow with practically nothing. Just get it into sun and it should be ok.
