I received this as a cutting from a GW member. It was labeled as Sedeveria 'Sorrento' when he bought it. I thought the clipping looked a little etiolated, but since I was putting it in the sun if figured it would straighten out and have a tighter rosette.

I don't think it has tightened up much at all! I can't find much information on the plant, but mine does not look like the pictures I have found. It has several branches and even those look etiolated to me.

You can see it has bent over the pot, then branched. Some older leaves are dropping, but everything else looks healthy and firm.

Does this plant tend to sprawl? Does it trail? Heck, do I even have the correct ID?

I need to repot since it is tipping over. Should I be beheading and starting some clippings, or is this the way it grows and I should leave it be? It was about a 3 inch clipping when I received it in August last year. All of that growth has been in the last 9-10 months.

Thanks in advance for any advice or comments!

Hi, Harry! The leaves on my plant are bigger, about an inch long, so I don't think it is Jet Beads. It does look similar, though, and perhaps the leaves that are older get longer on both plants. I will take your advice and go slowly, just chopping off one or two heads and see how things go.

Thanks!

Hi there Rian, don't think its a Buddhas Temple (BT) you have there, but may be wrong. Not got one myself yet but have watched BT's go way over my budget on ebayUK recently!! In my opinion BT's have thinner leaves, more angular 4 sidedness (made that word up I think!) they're a bit like a 4 pointed star, indents in the leaves running up to the tips, and a distinct 4 legged cross when viewed from above. Google for BT 'images' and also for 'stacked crassulas' will give you a link that can't be posted on here.....as a Gweb message has just informed me when I did a preview. Great pics BTW!

Thank you so much for each of your comments and lovely photos! When doing research I also thought that the form on GT looked a bit different but then the colouring had me confused. The fragrance was pleasing and fruity but not overpowdering although I only had one opportunity to smell it before the open flowers wilted in the heat. I am going to stick with the rose as GC then and see what she does :-) I just really wanted GC over GT and I know myself: if I realize that it was not GC in a year's time, I will not have the heart to remove a healthy growing and probably still beatiful rose!

Crenda, I am not familiar with your plant; just wondering - in your climate, it should not suffer from etiolation, right? While it seems somehow stretched, who knows what kind of light it was in before. I would do as you say - chop off 1 or 2 and see how they grow. Nice plant, like the color.

Just out of curiosity. Is it only sedum hybrids that branch like this? I haven't seen branching on echeveria before but it makes sense if it's sedeveria. Was just curious I'd Pachyveria or other hybrids do as well.

OOPS!

I took a couple of heads off, including the smaller branches that sort of make a T shape. I cut where the plant started bending over the pot. The stem is still growing pups and the cuttings seem to be doing well. But ...

I guess those smaller heads were inflos! Not sure if I will get flowers, but the buds have shown up after the beheading.

I am propagating some leaves from the inflo and the rosettes. I guess time will tell just how things turn out.
