Hi everyone!

My succulents seem to have become very leggy. They’re on a windowsill so get enough light, or so I thought, then realised the blinds are drawn all day to stop the room getting too hot in this weather!!

Do I need to take the tops off and replant? Then propagate the discarded leaves?

So, I never really cut my succulent after leggy growth, because I’m scared of the cut site to get infected. Because honestly, I wouldn’t trust myself to do this 😅.

But yes, that is exactly what you would do! As long as you callous the cut site the right way, it will be a-okay!
