Growing up with no leaves??

No idea what this plant is doing 😭 I've had this #GhostPlant for a while now and it just never seems to grow any leaves and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I feel like it could be a watering issue but am unsure ... any help is appreciated!! <3 #SucculentLove
1ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
More light, more light! Lots and lots more bright, consistent and direct lighttttttt β˜€οΈ
@itsjordan Lol ok thank you!! I have it under a grow light thats on from about 7am to 4pm, so should I let it run longer or place it closer to a window or something else??
@Queso You could do either one, introducing more light in any way would be good. Ghost plants ARE known to grow kinda crazy like this though to some degree. However, they are really big light lovers, so it would help make it look a wee bit nicer. I mean, check out this bunch as an example from the web:
@itsjordan Woahh that is insane omg! Thanks for all the help, will definitely try giving it more light!!πŸ™
Try decreasing the height above your plant to see if that helps too. Last year I got a red Venus Fly trap that lost its colour even though I have it under a grow light. Now that I have the plant closer to the light, the leaves are growing back in all red.
@ballondusoleil Oh that is so genius! Thank you for the tip!!
Mine is doing the same exact thing! But I have it under my grow light for 16 + hours a day, I would definitely suggest a tad bit longer with the lighting, but I really think that these ghost plants just have their own little minds and do as they wish lol
Mines much smaller than yours but you can see it’s doing the same lol
@Queso mine did the same thing I had it under a grow light from 6-7. Like 6 inches under the light basically. I ended up moving it outside because I would trim it down and it did it again. And again. At least outside, I can let it be tall πŸ˜‚πŸ«£ (the squirrels keep digging it up though) πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ™„
Mine does a very similar thing! It is very attracted to light and will grow where it will reach it more lol. This is a photo I took when mine started flowering a few months ago
