Why is my Pulido’s echeveria looking so droopy? And the bottom leaves are starting to lose a bit of color. What happened?

It looks healthy! As the plant grows out of the top, the bottom leaves will age and gravity takes over. Don’t worry about the droop!

Thank you!

Yep! The leaves are coming in nice and tight, which is another good thing. If you wanna get into propagating, you have a strong base on this plant which is good.

This looks etiolated. Needs more light

### Whit\_Y commented on 2025-01-03

How often do you water? Looks like it needs more light and maybe water? I squeeze the leaves of my succulents to determine if they need water. Squishy leaves = water, firm don’t water

### Daisy commented on 2025-01-03

I put them right by the window NikoScy, is that a good spot?

#### Daisy replied on 2025-01-03

Sorry meant WeyPlantMama

#### Whit\_Y replied on 2025-01-03

What direction is the window facing?

### Daisy commented on 2025-01-03

South

### Vetti commented on 2025-01-09

Try rotating the plant that will give the chance to straighten up since it looks a little more to one side

Thank you
