Should I move these? I just added them to Planta, and it’s saying the deck is too dark. It gets bright indirect light until the sun gets over the trees in the backyard; bright direct sun for 3 hours or so until the sun gets behind the roof. They both are very healthy. I’m wondering if either is stretched. Thanks!
They’re looking okay, the one in the red pot is definitely starting to look leggy and you can tell it’s getting less light from the lack of sun stress. I would say these guys are gonna want to a minimum of 6-8 hours of bright light. It’s so difficult to get these guys under proper lighting conditions! I have mine in a little sun cubby/windowsill sw facing with an added grow light
1 likeThe red pot is a graptoveria jester. It’s way more colorful than when I got it but maybe it should be even more so? I can move it to the sunny side of my driveway, although we’re getting rain for the next 5 days here in Atlanta. Francine is far reaching apparently. I might be moving everything into the garage this weekend.

Planta tells me I've got several plants that are to dark but they are in a east facing window so i just ignore the "to dark"

The window you have doesn’t equate to enough light. For most succulents, 3000 foot candles of light is essential for them to thrive which no window can provide. This leads to a less intense colour, stretching and less healthy leaves. I don’t trust planta’s light metre as I’ve found it to be inaccurate so brought my own and even the brightest window (south facing) was only 500 foot candles at its brightest so it’s worth checking with a more accurate tool
1 like They are both etiolated, meaning the stem has stretched looking for light. They should be compact with little space between the leaves so direct sun would be best
