Crested grapto still crested but also growing a “regular” head

I decided to deal with some of the props... and chop and prop all of the gangly succulents. They're awkward now, but it's a better aesthetic frankly.
I'm half-tempted to take these outside this summer (many of them need it, tbh), but hardening plants off to outdoor sun is a pain. I have started to supplement their light, and I've gotten some of them to start blushing but it still isn't enough to get their full colors nor stop many of the Echeverias, Sedums, Graptos, and Pachys from etoliating.

Graptos keep being weird.
This prop is growing as well as its siblings, but his first leaf was very broad. I don’t know why. It seems to think it’s some kind of... I don’t even know. Maybe it saw bear paws on my computer once?
And this was just a tiny Grapto-colored ball I found in the main pot. It had a single root sprouting out, so I left it on the soil and now it’s pushing out teeny tiny leaves. My guess is that it fell off its mother plant before it started looking like a leaf...
I don’t know which plant these two came from; would be funny is they had the same mother plant!

Δεν είναι πάντα στα μεγάλα λόγια.
Διασχίζουμε το δρόμο και στα τυφλά ψάχνω με βιάση να βρω το χέρι σου για να το σφίξω.
Το βράδυ ισιώνω το γερμένο μελαχρινό κεφάλι σου στο μαξιλάρι, μην τυχόν και ξυπνήσεις πονεμένο, κι ανασαλεύεις στο βαθύ σου ύπνο.
Δεν είναι πάντα στα μεγάλα λόγια: με βαραίνουν σαν άγκυρες χρέους, σκιάζουν το πρόσωπό μου με τα σύννεφα της αιωνιότητας που ξεπηδούν ασυγκράτητα από δυο σταγόνες δάκρυα οδύνης ή ελπίδας. Προτιμώ να σωπαίνω, να σφίγγω το τριαντάφυλλο στη χούφτα μου και τ’ αγκάθια να μπήγονται στη σάρκα ολοένα και βαθύτερα, ματώνοντάς με.
Πώς ζητάς να σ’ αγαπήσω εγώ, εγώ που δεν έχω τίποτα;
Είναι αδύνατον να τραβήξω τα μάτια μου, να τα αναγκάσω να χορτάσουν, να τρομάξουν αρκετά για να γλιτώσω -ή μήπως να λιποτακτήσω;- κι έτσι παραμένω πετρωμένη σαν ελαφάκι μπροστά στους προβολείς του αυτοκινήτου κάποια όμοια μαγική, μοσχομυρωδάτη αναθεματισμένη νύχτα, καρτερώντας τον χαμό μου.

Look at them! They’re doing great and you can almost see nothing anymore from the mice incident. The crested graptos are getting a little trapped though

I got them all potted today. Some of these had way bigger roots than I expected. Having to transfer the Watch Chain Crassula to a 3in pot honestly made me kinda proud.

My favorite plants will always be Graptopetalum paraguayense, I think. The humble ghost plant or porcelain plant.
This is Graptopetalum paraguayense :
Such delicate colors, right? But apart from their beauty, what I love about those graptos is that they are hell-bent on propagating.
My Sedeveria ‘Letizia’ props, from a plant that makes many offshoots, placed on actual soil on April 24th:
“Uh, guys, we’re supposed to make roots, right? Roots? Ugh, that’s so hard...”
Meanwhile, grapto leaves from June 19th in a plastic tray:
“LET’S MAKE BABIES!”
The light conditions might play a part (top of the shelf versus lower shelf), but come on...
Also I’m going to have so many graptos.
