Severe etiolation even under grow light. Got any helpful tips y’all?
You are going to have to take her out of the pot and pretty much pluck all her petals. Look at videos on youtube that talk about what to do with etiolated succulents and pick the option you want to go with. You might have to behead her too since she’s pretty far elongated, but check out a few videos first before you decides
