Should I behead these plants?

I have a sedeveria letizia and palmer sedum that have gotten pretty leggy! The sedum has pretty much been like that the whole year I've had it, but the letizia us really noticeable. Should I chop them, and where to if so? I've never successfully propped a succulent from a chop like this before, so I'm reluctant. #succulentlove #succulentsquad #greggang #sedum #sedeveria
No no no. Please keep it as a tree! It looks so cool! I would just remove the bottom leaves. It looks like a succulent palm tree 🀩🀩 Such a beautiful form!
Btw, what is it in the first pic? I love its look!
@vvvelo the first pic is the sedeveria letizia! with the sun we had recently the stem has gotten very sunstressed even though the leaves haven't.

im very tempted to leave the sedum as is, it does look like a little palm πŸ₯°
I did my jade & golden sedum for same reason. Chopped off top & stuck in soil. I started jade from prop! They're thriving & seem very happy πŸ˜ŠπŸ’š
@incognico I like this Letizia. I would remove the bottom leaves. I really like it look.
@PlantLovva oh!! they look so happy, did you pop them straight into soil or dry them out first? ive let mine callous in the past and have then had issues with them not rooting at all πŸ˜”
@vvvelo since its an echeveria hybrid i think its *supposed* to grow more compact.. its top-heavy at the minute and a couple stems have snapped previously. i might chop a few and leave the rest πŸ€”
@incognico stuck em right in! These guys aren't doing as well & taking forever... πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
@PlantLovva i certainly have enough rosettes that it couldnt hurt to try at least... my leaf props have historically gone pretty poorly too, though, so i feel you there πŸ™ˆ
@incognico πŸ‘follow me & let me know how it goes!PS I try & prop EVERYTHING πŸ˜…
@incognico tbh I really like how your Letizia looks like. I’d like to have similar Echeveria tree 🀩🀩🀩
I love them the way they are. I don’t know anything about propping them but don’t do itttt!!!
@FitBrowallia ive already chopped one 🀫 as much as id have liked to leave them as is, the weight of the plant was too much for it to support!
@incognico you did what’s best. Take a after picture
