How to fix leggy & stretched succulents

Succulents can often become leggy or stretched, growing elongated bare stems. This stretching of the plant stem is usually the result of the plant growing in too little light, but plants becoming leggy can also be caused by age and feeding.

To fix leggy plants we can prune them to encourage shorter and bushier growth. If the succulent has become very leggy then we can use stem cuttings to propagate lots of new plants. In this video I show you how to propagate Aeonium arboreum plants, giving clear step by step instructions how to fix leggy succulents.
