# So I’ve had this guy for a year since he was a baby, he’s kinda grown…

_Publié par Siân le 2024-05-26_

So I’ve had this guy for a year since he was a baby, he’s kinda grown a bit odd, now having to use my knitting needles to support him so he doesn’t topple over, any suggestions as to what I can do here? I’m a bit lost 😅

I’m not an expert but I think that kind of growth means he needs more light. That looks like kind of a shady window - they usually need a bright south facing window if you have one

He needs all day, full sun. AND he might be the variety that topples over. I have a few varieties of those types of succulents. I’ll find a pic.

I’ve seen a lot of people just trim and propagate new plants when they get that big

I would rotate it away from the light and turn it every day or two. It will lean towards the light source and with rotation straighten up.
