I wonder if you have two different sedum in that pot? Or if this new sedum can revert?
Anyone have more information?

Don't know about your sedum...I have a pot of sedum confusum that looks just like that only because I had planted together two separate pots that were in different locations. The lighter green had sun and the darker green was in partial sun/shade.
Jackie, your ivy regardless of where you put it needs to be trimmed. To make it fuller on top but still have some long hangers, you can prune just a few top branches so that they get bushy at top but still have the long ones to continue the viney look. Looks like the plant needs more water; looks like is drying out. And I think ivy needs more light so to replace for the sconce where there is med to low light, you might consider a plant that needs less light. Not sure a sedum would get enough.

Great info Bev, I have tried watering them more and that didnt seem to help and I have tried watering them less and that does seem to help them either so I figure it probably is a light issue or something? Ok, I am trying to google which low light plants would do well in those. Lets see what I come up with.

Jackie, I bet philodendron would work great in those, and you can find smaller leafed types.
I love Sedum 'Fine gold leaf'!! I don't have this issue within the same pot, but I have 2 different 4 inch pots that look different, I just assumed one had more exposure when growing, and that the other will eventually look the same once its in the elements! I agree with Lynn, that it looks like it could be 2 different sedums in your pot! I tip my hat to you.

Hmmmm....well that's kinda neat I guess. They look like they have the exact same type leaf but just growing differently. I have lots of philodendrons already and was looking for something a bit different or yes smaller leaved. Thank you for your suggestion Greg!

Jackie - no that's a senecio. Here is a repost of one of my pots, it has both sedum types
Thumb of 2013-04-21/gg5/f8f122
The sedum in front is that S.'FineGoldLeaf' the other green one is NOID, and it grows like crazy!!! Also roots totally easily so I can move it into many pots and spots! Hurray!

Greg that is great! I went to my local nursery today and I want to get this "Coral Carpet". It looks a little like yours. I have more pics coming tomorrow as well. I bought a "Silver King" semp and a "Red Cobweb" semp today!!! I have to get a pick of the 'Silver King" i do believe it's called that but here is the Coral Carpet and Red Cobweb. I did have my basket filled but on the way out I put the tenders back and figured I will stick with the cold hardy until I move.

I know it's very nice looking. Lynn, do you think the ones I received from you would do better outside the greenhouse in the cooler temps? I keep the greenhouse opened all day and night but one or two of the leaves look a little shiny and I havent even watered them since it's rained so much I figured just the moisture from the air would be enough for them right now. Do you think they would like it a bit cooler? I will take pics here tomorrow to show you.

The leaves seem a bit soft towards the bottom I believe.....Does this one look ok to you? Its a little glossy looking and it cant be from to much water since I havent watered them. Maybe they are still getting to warm in the greenhouse? But I leave it open. To much sun?

I would place them outside the greenhouse. They were used to the up and down temps of being exposed to the weather. They were also accustomed to the rain.
Astrid is looking like it is suffering from being to dry. Let nature water them if you are having rain right now.
