Echeveria elongated growth

15 years ago

Hi there...

I'm new here, so SORRY for this post, as I'm sure this has been covered before.

My plants have grown over the last two years, have pups, etc...but most have gotten long sten growth, droop, and loss of the lower leaves. Some put on new growth at the base, but most don't. I know how to propagate the cuttings, but...

Does this long floppy growth come from the fact that they aren't getting enough sun???

Thanks for you help!!!

Kathy

yes...sun, sun, and more sun. I don't think you can give a succulent too much sun indoors.

Hi Kathy, I agree sun is most important, mandatory.
Long, delicate growth can also be caused from too excess fertilizer and/or fertilizer used in winter, or during months of cloudy days. Toni
