They usually have short stems but my long stem was the result of a mishap with over fertilization

Do you think I should put it in a larger pot?
It seems a bit cramped in there, and it's only been 2 months... Carpobrotum Godzilla would be an apt name for this one!

No the pot seems adequate. Unless it gets root bound there's no reason to repot. You can plant it in a hanging basket later or you can even plant it outside if your winters aren't too cold

@stefan, I first need to convince my plants to flower me thinks!
I'll read your post to my plants, they might listen to a more authoritative voice!

@elieestephane I pretty much relocate every 6 months, so everything needs to fit in my car... I now have this image of plants hanging from my rearview mirror!

Very interesting plants!
I hope I'm not too indiscreet, but were you moving home or taking them for a stroll?

PS I can imagine trying to explain the cacti passengers to the police... :lol:
