I bought an assortment of succulent cuttings and put them in a grow tray to develop roots and grow about 2 months ago. They're about 30 centimeters away from a southern window.
I noticed that this guy was getting very leggy this morning so I rather find out what it wants. What kind of succulent is it and is this what it should look like? 😅 And if not, what's the best thing I can do for it?
The rest of the cuttings seem fine right now, so I don't know if moving it closer to the window would be good for them or not.

Idk exactly which succulent this is; possibly, a sedum. I do think it’s etiolated

This would explain why (I think, anyway) he got etiolated while the others are fine.
Cutie little variegated ghostie 💗👻
Looks like a variegated graptosedum of some kind… Maybe titubans? Miul?
It’s definitely etiolated. Everyone else pictured in this tray can handle & would enjoy some more light, so I’d recommend a gradual move closer to the window (gradual as in, like. 3-6″ per day, every couple of days, just to avoid sunburn). Succulents in general want as much light as you can physically get them in an indoor setting, with few exceptions.
However, graptosedums will eventually get gangly anyway, and grow all sorts of funky, long stems with rosettes on the end, so you could always just prop a few of those lower leaves in the same section of the tray as you go just to hasten the process a bit.
