Agree! I'd hoped you'd answer that you do have more light available, then I would suggest gradually increasing the light gradually over the course of a few weeks so it can start to adjust to an amount of light that will keep it normal looking. Forum'ing seems more fun to me if it's more of a conversation instead of saying everything up front and possibly leaving you with little more to say or ask. Sorry if I made things awkward this time!

When roots start poking out of the bottom, and it's drying much more quickly, it's time to consider repotting. Whenever you decide it's time for that, I'd recommend removing the old soil as completely as possible, replacing with new, try to not compact it too much, then waiting for a day or two to water, depending on how much moisture the new soil seems to have, so any damages to the roots can dry before they get wet. I'll repeat an analogy Baja put recently, that damages to roots/foliage of succulents is like a wound on a human that needs to form a scab to seal it from pathogens. After that point, give a thorough drink so the soil is evenly moist, and let it get mostly dry, repeat indefinitely. The first few times watering a newly repotted plant, I try to use an extra-gentle light sprinkle of water vs. a gush that can cause the soil to compact. Be sure to use a pot with a hole in the bottom so excess moisture, which can cause roots to rot, will drip out and not cause problems.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
