maybe sedum clavatum or some other type of sedum

I don't know much about sedum, but that was my first choice.

thanks guys i will start going through sedum photos

xGraptoveria 'Amethorum'

Thanks rosemarie i should have posted your answer here but i forgot in all the excitement of knowing what it is.
but i am fairly sure that you are right after looking at a few photos.
It sure grows SLOW that picture is of a 4 year old cutting

You can get faster growth than that with more sun, yours looks like it just a bit underling maybe, that specific hybrid is surprising tolerant of lower light, they can handle alot as long as you aclamate it.
It's not a fast grower.

Its to bad it seems to be fairly delecate and prone to rot.
I was going to put it in the ground next spring but now...
i guess i will see what i can do about trading it for something more hardy
thanks midnight

Well, Ive had that that plant several times in the past, never had any trouble with rot, I've always had em in more sun too, several hours of direct sun.

I'd bet that with more light, and possibly a faster draining mix, in a smaller pot, that all the issues with this lil guy would just go right away!

The prob with light is that i live in seattle and dont use grow lights. I have huge windows but they are also tripple paned so lots of uv lost.
i have been meaning to replant it. the pot is 3 years old and is prob compact and out of nutrients.
but thats what spring is for.

I noticed your location, and no wintertimes not great, but still rot will be eased by better soil, spring best, no doubt!
Thers some excellent c&s growers in your area, in summer outdoors you can get good growth!
Just make sure it gets protection from rain, like the eaves of the house or something.

I used to have several of this guys, i love that pattern!
I can't seem to fund them in the bbs anymore...

You are right about summer growth it is impressive to bad summer is only 3 months Ha Ha
BBS! do they still use those that? When i was a kid thats what the library had, you had to telnet as well, on a green screen. Now i got a high power color pc in my back pocket. Anyway... if you want another grapto Amethorum you can have mine

Haha!
I meant Big Box Store.

:p

If it needs a new home, I wouldn't say no!

Ha, Mark - you were tricked into dating yourself on that one, lol.

Yeah, yeah - I know what bbs was too...

You got me
