# Hello everybody ☺️ my babies have recently been looking a bit droopy…

_Posted by Mimi on 2025-01-20_

Hello everybody ☺️ my babies have recently been looking a bit droopy and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make their leaves grow upright and more plump towards the center if the plant again?

Also, for the taller succulent, is there a way I can prune it so it grows more wide rather than tall?

I think you should propagate the one on the left

Check the soil, with them draping over the top of the pot, it may be staying too moist, causing drooping. Unfortunately ypu rarely get that baby plump look until you propogate. Higher light will sometimes effect how tall or short they are though. If the light is low. They will sometimes stretch towards it
