How to get her Pink again?
Hey, #Succulents gang, Iโ€™ve had this Graptopetalum Paraguayense โ€™Pinkโ€™ for 3mo. She lost her color (& etiolated) in my East facing window pretty quickly. Iโ€™ve had her under a grow light for 2 months and she started getting tinges of pink but never fully turned.

I stopped watering for over a month to stress her. Yesterday I removed some bottom leaves and replanted in the mug bc she was leaning. So sheโ€™s in dry soil again and short enough to have her within an inch of the Sunblaster grow light (the black bar in the pic.).

She has always been healthy, but just looking a little pale. Iโ€™ve had others regain their color, but sheโ€™s a stubborn kitty. Any suggestions to get her Pink again?
2ft to light, indirect
3โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
Lots of sun. I don't know if an east-facing window will do it. I'd keep it under the light and give it some time. (: It's super cute!
@sarahsalith Iโ€™m so impatient lol Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š
Hypsie it's the #SucculentSquad c'mon now ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Definitely just needs more light, and try to have it directly overhead to avoid her leaning/reaching for light.
@RJG Or.. #lovesuccs ๐Ÿ˜‚
@MeganO Yes, definitely. I donโ€™t think I had the grow light when I got her. Then I moved her to it but it was to far above. I made all the beginner mistakes I possibly could have ๐Ÿ’ฉ !
@Hypsie we all do it ๐Ÿ˜…
I would guess, but maybe the grow light you have does not give the plant enough brightness ๐Ÿ”†
