I got this plant earlier this summer in a 4" inch pot, and its growing
well as I keep it moistured. I have no idea how tall it would get, if
at all. Does anyone know?

is this the common green kind?

it tends to go outward instead of
up, but when crowded it will put up
a flower stalk which can go a foot
or so up. i'm sure there are varieties
of this which are larger than others
so it might vary...

Thanks the label on the pot says its Grapeosedum "California
Sunset"...its pale green with a tinge of pink. Don't know if it needs
to be repotted or leave alone, and when to repot if I need to.

"There are many interesting intergeneric (crosses between 2 genera)
hybrids of succulents. x Graptosedum ‘California Sunset is a cross
between Graptopetalum and Sedum. It bears tawny rose colored fleshy
petals that surround and terminate in rosettes on somewhat sprawling
stems. We especially like it combined with the steel blue of Senecio
serpens (Chalksticks). Cool temperatures deepen the foliage color to
striking copper red tones. Starry white flowers are borne mostly in
the winter months.

"Grow x Graptosedum ‘California Sunset’ in full sun. Pinch it back to
have a tighter growth habit. Plants will grow to perhaps 6-12” high
before the stems begin to spill with weight."

Yes, thats the one...gee, it says it grows 6'' to a foot...won't that
be too much for a 4'' pot?

have here.

yes, you can repot it into a larger pot so that
it won't get so tippy in the breezes.
