Any ideas why my mother of thousands is SO DANG tall? When I first got her, she was very small and condensed, so I’m curious what could be the cause of this. Any clues?

Im sorry for you. Very sorry. 😂 I have a MASSIVE mother of millions(about 2 feet tall) who spits out babies every other day. I found a baby in a plant in an entirely different room, and I have no idea how it got there(it was a hanging pot).

Mine also looks like that, and I keep it right at I a window. I honestly think that’s just the way they are.

That big a separation between the leaves is not normal for a MofM. It is definitely etiolated. Most succulents require a lot of direct sunlight, so growing them indoors results very challenging.
