Ok succulent lovers and experts.

This is Flora. I absolutely love her, but I'm not sure how to continue to help her be healthy. She was a single plant when I got her. She grew so tall I cut her up into pieces, pand she flourished. Now she has naked legs and a lot of new growth around her. Should I just leave her alone or start propagating the leggy pieces. I have been removing the dead leaves in prep for spring #happyplants #succulentsquad #succulentlove #happyplants #plantaddict #echeveriarunyonii

Do you mean the naked areas on the stems where you've removed dead leaves? Honestly, go with whatever you think will make her look her best. If you're not a fan of the bare areas on the stems and want her more bushy and full, then cut and propagate back into the same pot.

Thank you @stephonicle. I am taking your advice and I'm just going to let it ride. After moving the stems around I can see a ton of new growth under neath as well. Such an unusual growth pattern. Thanks again for your input.

@Stall54Jo happy to help! And thank you for the best answer ☺️ It does have very interesting growth, not very echeveria-like with those long stems 😛

She might be so leggy because she is searching for more light. When I was growing my succulents under a grow light placed just under a foot away they stretched out super long like this. If you do use a grow light I’d consider moving it closer or getting a stronger one. If in sunlight I’d say move to a sunnier spot or supplement with a grow light.
