Help with long succulents, dropping leaves near bottom (see pic)

[plantgroweat]

Hi everyone! I've had these five succulents for a few years, never really knowing what they were or whether they had different care needs. For a while they seemed to be doing fine, but I moved into a new place about nin months ago and a few of them seem to be getting pretty long (the three closest to the window). They are still growing new leaves at the top, but the bottom leaves shriveled up and dropped. I've read that this might be due to needing more sunlight (though the windowsill they are on gets a lot of sun!), and that they might need cutting.

I've never cut a succulent before and am afraid of doing it incorrectly, so any advice there also greatly appreciated. Any and all other comments to help me get these guys back in shape are also welcome--thank you so much!

it looks like a Senecio crassissimus (vertical leaf senecio)

I see nothing wrong ,it's normal for plants to lose old leaves, it's just aging.

Agreed, they get leggy with age - the stress of adapting to a new location might have sped up the process a little, but it would have happened anyway.

Cutting them is the fix for this, yes, and it's very simple. See - https://pieceofeden.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... ation.html (scroll down past the part about leaf cuttings - though you could make some of those, too!)

The Senecio should be treated similarly, just stick the stem into the soil after the healing period, and give it even less water - that species needs very little.

Judging by the shadows outside, it's going to be several hours before they get any sun. if you move the plants to the far right of the window they will get more sun than where they are on the left.
I'm guessing that where they are they only actually get a few hours of sun per day at most, in the (late?) afternoon?
Unless they are actually in the sun, plants on window sills get far less light than those outside.

The second one from the window is echeveria perle von nurnberg. You can cut the head and the bottom parr will sprout many new rosettes.
