What is this plant?

Thanks a lot. Oh really? But I am a bit scared of repotting it because whenever I touch it some parts break and then I have to put into a new pot :-D. Now, I have 6 of them. I think repotting them is going to be very tricky. Do you know how much water it needs?
very beautiful I want them all :-DThere are lots of different sedums, and they make good ground cover
Moh, find a nice shallow pot - something like this...
Use some compost with plenty of grit in it, to make sure it is free draining. The sedum will break when you move it, but each little bit that lays on top of the compost will root and spread, so don`t worry about that. These plants really don`t need much looking after. When you have popped your plants in, firm them down a bit, and give them a good watering. That`s it! You can forget the watering for a good while, just a drop now and then if it gets really really dry.
If you start off with a nice big pot, you will be able to add more, different varieties as you find them. See if your friends have any, you only need to pinch a tiny bit, push it in the compost, sit back and watch it grow.
Have fun

Exactly, I realized how fast they spread. even the leaf fell once and after a while I realized it is becoming a new plant! really amazed me! Unfortunately, none of my friends have plants, lol. We are all computer scientists :-D.
It is a better life being a gardener I think. Maybe you could persuade your friends too. Computers are ok, but not to be in front of all the time....there is more to life - as you will find out with your sedums. I can live without a computer, but not without a garden....no laughing matter
As an afterthought, could you take a photo of your completed project do you think, so we can see how it`s coming on ?

I can easily understand that. You know, the first thing I do when I arrive home is check all my plants. They matter a lot to me. I wish I could encourage others as well, but these computer nerds are very strange, you never want to talk to them ;-).It is a better life being a gardener I think.

Thanks Mary.
It's a Sedum. An incredible plant, you wouldn't believe it. Every part of it is able to grow roots and start its own life.
