Two of the tiny rosettes on the presumed Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Ghost Plant' I got at Gainan's three weeks ago are developing air roots.
The interweb says this indicates the plant is searching for more moisture, light or stability, especially in the case of a leggy plant. It is somewhat leggy and I already have chopped off one of the four large rosettes and planted it in one of the bowls. This summer the remaining three large rosettes and three small ones (two already with air roots) will get the same treatment. It's a good thing. I haven't noticed this on any of my other plants, but none of them came right from the store with mostly-bare 3-inch stalks.
