    My paddle succulent is starting to look like that as well! I love succulents but I really suck at them. Am I not suppose to keep a succulent by the window? Is a grow light better for it? I thought it got the most light that way. Also I changed its watering since using this app. I’m afraid a it’s healthy by slowly giving. Please help!

      Same! I changed to the watering schedule. The secret is to look for any leaf wrinkling! She perked right back up after watering. This app didn’t have her being watered until over a week from now😅

      Yes give them the sunniest spot you can find indoors, since they are more prone to etiolation

    Yeah, I’ve found that direct overhead lamp light is the only way I can keep them compact but it’s just not practical with my set up
