Is my zebra plant growing abnormally? It’s in a bit of a shady spot so I’m wondering if it needs more light and a bigger pot.

Looks gorgeous to me!! Maybe consider a repotting soon. Very nice 😊

More light for sure but not as much as a typical succulent needs. Mine is happy in an east-facing window. The long, pale part on the left is it stretching out for light - It’s called etiolation.

Any tips on how to prune it?
