This is the longest I’ve gone without accidentally killing a succulent so I’m not sure if growing this way is normal. I only water it when the leaves get wrinkly.

    I think it needs more light, it’s stretching looking for the sun?

    Yes, it’s etiolated. Needs a lot more light. Try a Sansi full spectrum led grow light. You can a bulb.

  3. It’s a bit !etiolated, meaning it’s stretching in search of light. Indoors in the northern hemisphere, an unobstructed south facing window is the best option, but still often isn’t enough. You may need strong !growlights.

  4. This is usually happening when days become shorter and plant is supposedly entering in calm phase but!…you left ih in hot spot and giving it water. So, now you can move it to sunnier but colder place, significaly reduce watering and in summer cut the top off. Plant the top.

    This species needs direct overhead sunlight the majority of the time, it is a very light hungry species.

    Get a grow light on that baby immediately.
