# So I have a bunch of cactuses and succulents but one of my succulents…

So I have a bunch of cactuses and succulents but one of my succulents has been reaching up and is super tall and skinny and I do not know why. It is under a grow light with high intensity and the grow light is on for about 8 hours a day. How do I fix it?

It won’t help the previous growth but I’d bump up the time on your plants to 12-16 hours. I’d just transition it over a few days.

If you want the rosette shape again you’ll have to chop and prop
