hello 👋🏼 can you give me some advice on what i can do to keep her from being so droopy? her growing is not the issue. she is thriving. i recently added soil to raise her a little bit because she was too far down in the pot.

I had some succulents that grew very leggy because we’ve had such an overcast summer. I pruned off the top so they’re basically mini plants and let the tops callus over for 24 hours, then planted them in fresh soil—not in super coarse succulent potting mix yet. Three months in, they look like fully grown plants without being at all leggy. It was a bit risky but it worked fine for me. You could try it if you really want yours to be flatter and broader. 💚

she started as one plant. i got her on clearance \& she looked terrible to begin with. i had posted on a fb group \& they told me to move her up in the soil a little bit, so i did. when i did she got so leggy i had to separate her.

Lack of light and the soil looks too organic.

she’s in full sunlight for a good portion of the day. and in succulent mix.

Succulent soil is too organic. You need to add significant amounts of grit to store bought cactus and succulent mixes.

But it is definitely in need of way more light than it’s been getting.

The below picture is how they grow with sufficient light. Compact and red tinged.
