Interesting to see how many different opinions one plant can generate. Mentha, perhaps Xcacti are different but many plants -- particularly orchids and succulents develop a purple/red cast when growing at the upper end of their light limit. Growing them at that point is not necessarily a bad thing. Bleaching/burning, at least IME, general occurs when such limits are exceeded or, even more commonly, when plants have not been properly hardened off. I do see the one bleached/beige spot I believe you are talking about but if the plant was getting too much sun there would be more than just that one spot affected. So I would have to disagree with "too much light" I also don't believe I would up the pot size. However, a number of the segments do seem to be lacking in "plumpness". I would suspect a watering issue -- either insufficient watering, or too much water resulting in root loss.

I agree, it looks healthy. Anywhere you want it to branch, you pinch off. Then, if you want more, you can either place the pinched off part in a glass of water or place it on some moist soil. If placed in water, plant in soil as soon as some roots start growing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so relieved. My husband didn't want to get marble in the first place and tonight I've been stewing...so you've also just made my marriage a lot happier, too. You are right about my grout needing to be darker for the look I wanted. I didn't get white, but the gray I picked should have been darker. However if the colors go back to the way they were I'll be happy. Thanks again.

@Jon Alan Thank you! Yes, I believed I had communicated my vision. But, of course, that is the problem thing with communication, right? The illusion that it has taken place. ;) This is my first time doing something like this, so I didn't know to require a door sample. Of course, hindsight is 20/20. The cabinet maker really is a long-time pro, and he and my contractor have worked together for so many years, that it seems this arrangement was too casual. Too casual AND too expensive. Ugh. Thank YOU for your help and feedback. I truly appreciate it!
