Hi. I have 2 more questions. Google images shows that this succulent is “stretching” because it’s searching for more light. I just thought it was growing. So which is right? Also, should it be repotted as it’s been in the same pot since 10/1/25 when I got it?

The term referring to that “stretching” is etiolation! If you look up pictures of what your specific plant type is supposed to look like, that will help you determine whether growth is normal or stretched. This plant does look etiolated to me! The leaves are closer together at the base and then start spacing out more. Also, the newer leaves (higher up) are thinner where they connect to the stem. These are also clues to look for with etiolation.

I hope that helps!

Thank you. I’ll google it.

Yes it is etoliated. Probably a sedum adolphi. When getting enough light, the leaves will color up. As far as potting up, you will need to decide that when you check out the roots.

Thanks. I kinda figured that about the repotting. It only had one hole on the bottom \& so far no roots are visible.
