My sand rose is stretched out and floppy with tiny hairs! I have a grow light now as I think it was desperate for light but any suggestions? Should I trim it back? Prop it up?

Thank you! 🌱

It lives best in full sun and appears to be in shade. Which can cause it to stretch out and get “leggy”.

Grow light is a good step. When mine get leggy, I chop \& prop to encourage better growth. Like the picture I attached. I put cinnamon on the parts that cut to protect from germs/disease, and then take some bottom leaves off the top section so it has a stem to stick in the soil \& wait a couple days to water. And then put the leaves you pulled off on the top of soil to see if they grow babies 😁
