Does my echeveria look leggy? My echeveria has kinda always been like this but my other one is bunched up a lot nicer and they get good light. Am I doing something wrong?

i wouldnt call that leggy (yet, at least) but more light would definitely make the newer growth come in more compact ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ different echeverias have different light needs, so this one may just be needier than the other one. id recommend a grow light (youre gonna need one once summer is over anyways if youre just using window light since the days will get shorter), having an overhead light source helps a lot since like if the light is coming from the side some of the plant ends up being shaded so it gets less light overall. ive heard good things about sansi lights, but id suggest looking on reddit for specific recommendations since that brand makes a lot of different lights. you could also just look for a 2000lm 6500k led bulb and put that into a lamp, it might end up being cheaper idk :p
