I rescued this baby who was aggressively etiolated. He was like 8 inches long limp asparagus 😂 Once I came into owning this plant, I cut it back to give it a chance at life. It’s thriving! He’s got a regimented 12 hour grow light schedule and Planta’s watering advice. Any thoughts on supporting it so it doesn’t begin to crawl/lean again? Dude is already getting kinda tall! I know it was based on bad conditions which no longer exist, but I don’t want to have to cut it back again. Thanks for any help!!

    I always have these kinds of succulents do this so I stopped trying, but you could maybe get a little cloche for it and give it more sun if you don’t wanna cut it back again! Good luck with it 🫣🙏🏼

    You could gently wire train it like I did when Nova was a fresh cutting…

    I suggest a smaller pot and have you fertilized yet?

      It’s already in a 2 inch. The roots are surprisingly suitable even though the plant looks tiny still. I have done some watering with fertilizer per Planta! It’s doing good just may end up being a laying/hanging type of succulent in the end 😅😂

      The pics make the pots look bigger than they are. Thank you for your reply.
