Yesterday we posted a question about an echeveria, and asked for a picture. Today we get a picture!
Sorry, meant to send this initially. Watering about every 2-3 weeks. In a room with several windows, with shear white coverings – so it lets in a fair amount of light.
Steven,
Your echeveria is not getting enough light. Shear white window shades will block the UV that the plant needs. I recommend getting it into a sunny window, however increasing its amount of light each day so as not to shock the plant. Ideally, it wants 2 hours min. of afternoon sun or 3-4 hours of direct morning sun.
They can be prone to pests when not getting enough light, so given its current condition, you may also want to check to make sure that it doesn’t develop pests like aphids or mealy bugs.

Hello!
I have a leggy echeveria also, but I’m nervous about moving it to the sunniest window I have because it gets HOT on that windowsill. My current succulents that are there become very warm to the touch, it’s a little scary. Are echeverias okay with being physically hot?
Thanks!
