Long tall succulent

[lurchermummy]

Hello succulent experts, I hope you can help.
We have this succulent that has grown really long and leggy, basically the top part is really green and healthy, but the bottom half is just dead leaves. Because it's so top-heavy it is as if its falling out of its pot. I'm wondering what to do about it, whether I should repot it or if there is a way I can propagate it and start again. Photo attached, thank you

It's gorgeous.

I think you should just be able to cut off the bit that's green, let it scar over, and plant it and it will root.

I would personally just replant it with the soil at the level I want it to be, but there is a risk it could rot I guess.

It's an echeveria and is so tall because it's not getting enough light and has stretched (etiolated). If you chop the top off it will re root but unless the plant gets more light it will happen again.

@Pinkywoo thanks it was my daughters and quite neglected - I've moved it to the kitchen window sill and it has perked up. How much of the top do I chop? All the green part of just the top rosette? Thanks.

It’s an Echeveria - probably E. agavoides, and has stretched due to lack of light, as already mentioned.
You can cut the head off, maybe about an inch down, allow to callous (dry) for a week or so in a shady spot, then just rest it on some very gritty compost, and it should start sending out some hair-like roots from the base in about three or four weeks (you don’t even need to water it). Once roots are well under way, pot up in more gritty compost and place in your sunniest spot.
The remaining stem might also produce some baby offsets too, which you can remove and root when large enough.

Just pull the dead leaves off, it's what they do as they grow. Agree to beheading it and starting again.

Thanks all I have performed the surgery and will await the results!

Hello all I am sure you've been waiting with baited breath for an update! Okay so I now have about 20 leaves in a tray of compost that have all started to grow babies. Possibly more than I wanted! The top which I lopped off did eventuallu put out roots, but now it is in compost the underneath leaves have started to rot and the roots have died. Shame. I did keep the compost dry, but maybe not dry enough??
