I just received this etiolated Echeveria from succulent depot online. In fact they sent me a few sad and etiolated plants. This was my first time buying them from them and I’m wondering if this is common or if I’m just unlucky?  
If you know of any other succulent growers online that are better please let me know. I ordered 18 plants and I cried once I saw them 😭

honestly this looks ok to me. all the new growth is nice and compact. you could always cut it and set it right on top of the soil if you don’t like the old height

That’s what I want to do but would it work if I just cut the side head? Thanks 😊

yeah if you just want to take the little guy off and pot it up that should work!

You’re welcome. The ladies whose names I know are businesses I have bought from multiple times.
