This is actually a pup or baby from the mother plant. It’s just white bc it hasn’t had a chance to develop chlorophyll. Sedum don’t have rhizomes

Should I cut it off? Wait to repot after doing so?

#### Kades replied on 2025-01-09

I would wait till it pops out of the soil and get about 1/3 the size of mom. Then I take the whole plant out of the soil and remove the pup with as much roots attached as possible. I think it gives it a better chance than doing it right away
