Cinta, yes it is reaching for the sun Big Grin That side of my garden, gets the early part of the sun at 10am and then it is shaded by the city trees by 1pm. So I guess it wants more!

JoAnn, cute grapto indoors! Aww..seems like mommy plant wants to go out and play some more Big Grin I would really consider moving Graptoveria on its own container. It grows very aggressively.

Just some more background of my graptoveria.
I got this graptoveria from my aunt in 2010, started like this: the tall ones was the Graptoveria Fred Ives and the shorter one I found out later was Calandrinia spectabilis. They looked well behaved then. I was not familiar with their growth habits.

Then later on I realized, I should not have mixed these succulents with anyone, both are such aggressive growers, easily overrunning one another, took me awhile to separate the two Hilarious!

Last photo together in 2012 before repot: It was nice though, so tempted to leave them alone, Graptoveria was blooming in late winter, blooms reminds me of typical echeveria style:

But I am glad I repotted and removed them to its own containers, now I got more Big Grin
