¿Por qué? Yo las sucuentas las tengo plantadas en macetas bajas...

No estamos hablando de suculentas en general, ¿no?, sino de sempervivum en particular. Las echeverias crecen muy bien en contenedores bajos, o los sedum, pero dije los de los semper basándome en esto que comentan en sempervivophilia sobre el cultivo, foto incluida:

The containers for cultivation, contrary to what can be read here or there, will be preferably deep.

Estos dos párrafos me parecen especialmente interesantes:

One can object however that in situ one often sees some Houseleeks growing in a very thin layer of substratum on the bare rock and succeeding in spreading on it (forming what is called a "vegetation of pavement"). This is true indeed, but in fact, if one looks closer, one generally notes that some long roots are leaving the main rosettes and are going to the horizontal up to a crack from which the tuft was originally developed, and the weaned rosettes that are developed in the only superficial substratum remain weak more often than not.

It is hence in general an error to choose as container a low pot, even though the aesthetics of this one appears to agree better with the aspect of Houseleeks. A 8-10 cm deep container seems a minimum. It is true that these plants will adapt without too many problems to a lot less, or even to a symbolic substratum thickness, but their growth will always remain better in a deep container. One will reserve preferentially the too little deep pots to the only species or cultivars with tiny and "encrusting" rosettes and to the jovibarbas. The sorts with big rosettes, and particularly some cultivars, will require a generous volume and depth of the substratum to be able to develop their size and to express their best.

Posiblemente sea buena idea lo que plantea Khenai, dejar crecer las plantas por sí solas y darles tiempo.
