# I’ve had my little ghost since the beginning of May and he had such…

_Posted by My lovely plants 🪴 on 2025-08-24_

I’ve had my little ghost since the beginning of May and he had such beautiful leaves. Nowadays his leaves come out extremely leggy and curled inward. I have him on a west facing window and the internal air temp is around 68 degrees. I wonder if I either need a personal grow light for him or if there is another reason. He has drainage as well as well draining soil for succulents. If anyone has any advice I’d love to get my plant back to the way it used to or mainly not like this. Thank you! 😊 the left photo is current and the right is about a few days after I got it

As leggy as it's getting, I would say it needs more light.

It’s scheduled for watering every 5 days. That seems often. Is the soil totally dry when you water? And from looking at your pic, I agree with other poster that it needs more light.

Should I get it its own grow light? I think it says that only because it’s about 95-100 in Oregon. But usually it runs anywhere from 7-9 days
