# Got this Echeveria at Walmart a couple weeks ago and he’s pretty…

Got this Echeveria at Walmart a couple weeks ago and he’s pretty leggy. What can I do to help other than more sunlight? I have noticed new leaves growing steadily so I’m hopeful.

I would say support and light. They get leggy because they are trying to find a place to get more light. If it gets really bad and support isn't working, you can propogate it into multiple plants.

more sunlight or a growlight is the only thing that will keep it from etoliating any further :)

There's no way to fix the already leggy portion. Just give it more light to stop it happening more.

Same here, i sugest you move it with brighter light. My plant as you can see I once i moved it they started growing normally. Now the issue is that now thay are top heavy.
