Great, thank you! Googled it and it's definitely a match. Much appreciated. :)

@Rina....is the plant set a little too low down in the mix, if it is, would it be best to raise it up a little?

@Michael, please wait for someone else to confirm or deny my thoughts before you do anything! Just an observation:-)

I don't like any succulents being 'buried' - I believe it may increase chance of rot if the leaves are surrounded with potentially wet soil...and as you know, I also think setting it too deep in the pot (where soil level is much lower than rim of the container) is another thing I usually mention. In both cases, it also looks better (just MO...)

I agree on the bad practises of not setting any plant too low in the mix and too low down in the pot.

The plant above is set fine in relation to the pot rim IMHO.

Can I confirm for Michael that we both think it's set too low in the mix and it would be best in the long term if the soil was lowered in relation to the plant?

If so, I see two options..... One by merely removing some mix and leaving the plant relatively undisturbed, or two, unpotting, removing excess soil at the top and replanting again.

I was planning on replanting it at anyhow, as it's in the original pot from the nursery. Blame the nursery for setting it too low. :P

Thanks all the for the feedback!

Michael, where are you located? If you could add some info after your user name it 'sometimes' helps, plus it makes things more interesting IMO :-)

Gill, I agree with you...and Michael - it is clear that it was sold to you that way. Pls. post photos when repotted :)

Btw, the plant will darken up considerably in lots of light. If you prefer more green, keep in partial shade. I have variegated one, and it looses it's variegation in sun - it gets only about 1.5hr of early morning sun (one of my very few succulents that are not in full sun).
