Is she okay? I’ve never had succulents before, this is my first one. I thought all of this growth was good but planta said she looked sick, wouldn’t tell me what was wrong unless I bought the subscription though….

She is fine, it’s not disease/infextion/bugs, she just needs more light.

My succulent did something similar and became super leggy to the point where it could no longer support itself (pic 1). I chopped its head off and repotted it (pic 2) & cut off 2 babies from the stem which I can see yours has (pic 3). Overall super happy I did it and they’re all thriving now! The top cutting is going to end up growing tall again but at least I know when it does I can start over 😁

As Xue said, not sick, but needs a lot more light. Do you know what kind of echeveria it is? Some can color up beautifully if given enough light.

  I’m not sure… she was given to me as a gift. They bought it from Trader Joe’s and it was advertised as a “mini succulent”

  If you are unfamiliar with succulents, here are a couple pics of mine. They can be quite colorful. Plus gives you a better idea of their desired growth.

Your plant is just getting a little leggy. It doesn’t really hurt the plant but more sunlight would stop it from growing this way.
