Do these need more light than echeveria?
Pachyphytum compactum - Little Jewel [limited]
I got two of your Little Jewels from mini succulent plugs about 2 months ago. They are in small individual pots next to echeverias Lola, prolifera, and Perle con Nurnburg, as well as crassula Pagoda Village and graptosedum Alpenglow. All of those plants are showing compact growth and nice color, so I think they’re getting enough light, but my Little Jewels seem to be stretching. There is stem visible between the leaves on the lower 2/3 of the plants. Does Little Jewel need more sun, or is something else wrong? Or is this normal?
