It’s under a grow light and still I think it’s looking a bit leggy. Thoughts?

Mine wants FULL sun. it’s a greedy little beggar.

Other than in a window with additional lighting, what would you do here to bridge that gap? Another light maybe? The other succs around it are happy and thriving 😩

Try pushing the light closer to the plant. Maybe swing another arm over it.

Honestly, your plant looks pretty good to me. If it’s showing the variegation, the you know it’s getting enough light.

I would move the light closer to the plant and leave it on for longer

It needs a full spectrum light such as one you’d use for vegetables indoors. That’s the best kind or outdoors if your not in a wet humid climate. The plant light you currently have is for medium to low light plants so it won’t help cactuses or succulents very much.

Thank you so much! Any specific keywords I need to use when I’m searching for one other than just ‘full spectrum’ ?

The GE seedling grow bulb is comparable with many larger and more expensive lights. ☺️
