Jojoe, those itty bitty extensions do look like offsets. The smaller, unconnected plants may just be separate individuals that rolled off the mama and rooted away.
I never take a chance and assume that something that got sent to me is already acclimated to the sun or cold or heat...I tend to put new plants outside in protected area (shaded) initially for 15 min daily just to get them used to the wind or cold or heat. Then after a week's time I may move them out to morning sun for 15 min and put back into shade and then work them gradually to more sun for longer periods. Your jovi looks a little tender like it's been indoors or protected. It's not just sun that it needs time to get used to. Sometimes you need to consider wind and heat and cold, etc.
