Just thirsty. If I could make a suggestion:) before you repot give it a drink. After about a week or two of when you watered you can repot in new mix. So it can have a chance to hydrate before you repot:).

Not Violet Queen, but that's about all the help I can give you with an id;).

I would like to add that the closed form it is taking now is indicative that the plant is getting enough light and not too much water. When it's open as in your first photo, its showing signs of too much water and not enough light. The light green center growth is from not enough light and when plants have too much water, they'll open up like that to try to increase exposed surface area to increase water loss.

I second everything Kara says and recommend not permanently keeping it under less light as that will have an undesired effect on growth.

It's just thirsty. ;)

I actually LOLed.

Oooh it really does look like a Graptoveria 'Bashful', thanks!

I live as an international student in HK so I bought my plant with the name tag in cantonese rather than english. I can define some of them e.g Black Prince because they're direct translations, but this one was a struggle.

I'll definitely continue watering my succulent before repotting it over the Easter break.

How would you control the amount of light it receives though? Take in indoors after I think it's had enough for the day?

I control the light by how close I put it to the grow light indoors, or how much sun and shade it gets during the day outdoors, according to where I put it. Last year I put it where the sun was blocked in the middle of the day.

Just an update. I've watered it and finally got round to changing its soil. I made a mixture of half grit and half of its original soil, with a layering of the grit I was referring to on top.

After increasing the watering schedule, it's looking a little better! I'm relieved and grateful :)

Looks fantastic. Nice job.
