Is there a reason my Echeveria did this? And is it normal for it to shoot up like this. I had the plant for about 3 weeks, then over 4 days it shot up. And it’s been like this since then.

Generally when echeveria get leggy like this they need either stronger light or more hours of light

Okay, thank you!! I appreciate it! It’s under a grow light for 12 hours so I assume it needs stronger light.

Or just move the light closer to the plant. It’s “stretching” to reach toward the light source

#### Kades ha respondido el 2024-08-18

Yes you can move the grow light closer too!
