Can anyone tell me what is happening with my Chocolate Solider? It’s been going on for a while, but I just recently moved and its lighting situation has decreased from direct sunlight for 8+ hours a day to around 4hrs a day and I want to make sure its ok.

Wherever it was it was happy enough to put off a flower spike. The lean is from it seeking sunlight. I’d put it back where it was

A lot of succs put out flowers as a swan song of sorts — a stress response. When they are not thriving they send out flowers to create clones. This plant needs more light, it’s reaching.
