Re: Monkey Time!
That is a lovely sight! I will attempt to repot mine and will post result.
Re: Monkey Time!
My method for repotting long plants is to use a sheet of thick cardboard, cut a hole in the middle that's a bit bigger than the new pot, lower the old pot into the hole while spreading the arms out on the card. You can prop the card up if needs be but a second pair of hands is really helpful. Once the old pot is removed you can just lift the whole lot onto the new pot. It works for the delicate sedums like S. burrito anyway.

Re: Monkey Time!
My youngster decided to pop its first flower this week. It has a lot of catching up to do, looking at Mike's plant!
I followed the advice on the here last year (2022) and hung it up outside for the summer. Tried the same this year but after two weeks of cold relentless rain in July I feared it might rot so it has been back under cover since early August.

Re: Monkey Time!
Beautiful flower! I like the cardboard repotting idea. Will try when I have help!
