My echeveria perle von nurnberg and kalanchoe thyrsiflora are stretching out (which I know is due to a lacking of sunlight) but I was wondering if they are still healthy and can still live happily?
The kalanchoe is growing its 4th baby right now!!! So cute! I have them in a bright, south facing window but they are still tilting towards the sun, so I turn them every few days to straighten them out but I’m still a little worried in the back of my mind!
I got them around 15 months ago so I am familiar with watering but am just worried about the stretching!

There’s no avoiding it

They will stretch, as long as they’re not getting quite enough.
You can put them outdoors for the summer, in a bright area without too much afternoon sun.
Other times of the year, get a grow light – they need to be really close, like a couple of inches from the tubes to get enough light.
See more about grow lights here.
Other than that, yes, they look healthy!
