I believe that yours is just in a slightly more Dormant state then Baja's. It's not a different cultivar.

They look different to me. I like the fatter leaves. Your plant more closely matches the pictures in Rudolf Schulz's Aeonium book. Maybe mine is a hybrid, I dunno.

Yeah, more in that direction than the other, if I had to guess. I should not be so trusting of names I get with plants. I will have to stew on this a while before I decide what to call it.

I'm very happy with the growth of the Decorum Cooperi. Pics for that one later.

Here are some variegates. Yes, they are different, but look similar.

Here's another unknown aeonium. Has pupping habit, and I have huge pot full of it. Starting some from cuttings. Any idea on the ID @Baja_Costero ?

None at all but a picture of the whole plant might be informative.

Sure seems to be. Today i'm tasking my self with "weeding" it. (getting rid of all the smaller pups and plants being crowded out at the bottom...). Should have another pot full of it, by then. Smiling

In general, can I assume that aeonium will easily grow new pups/branches into clusters, compare with echeverias?

Most species easily pup and branch. Other than solitary species like Nobile. Some, like undulatum choose to grow new shoots from their base. From my experience Aeoniums like to branch more then echeverias. But I would say it's fairly equal.

My Aeonium sedifolium looks different from the others pictured here.
Maybe it is a hybrid?

Yours looks like what mine looks like, maybe a bit more out of dormancy than mine. Actually, it looks pretty much the same as mine. My plant is producing more broad-er leaves.

@Baja_Costero
Could your "sedifolium" be Aeonium x casanovense? I just came across this hybrid...

I'm going to need to get a sedifolium. @Sedumzz , do you have any for trade? (hint, hint) nodding

That would be the leading candidate in my mind. Bob, I think your plant is correctly identified.

Actually,
I think my sediifolium is Aeonium x loartei ....
leaf shape matches...

My plant is from Etsy , a gift from a friend.

We also should add Aeonium loartei 'Tavormina ' to the databas
never mind,.... i think

Yes. There are two solitary Aeonium species, at least as the genus was defined at the beginning of the 21st century, each of which (perhaps unsurprisingly) has a branching form in cultivation. Those are tabuliforme and nobilis, each with a very distinctive shape. A. nobilis is the giant of the genus, though it does not grow much of a stem.

The rest will branch to a greater or lesser degree. The extremely prolific branchers (eg. A. haworthii, Blushing Beauty) tend to have longer lives in cultivation, and can go on almost indefinitely once they're established in a landscape location. These miniature plants with lots of branches should have a nice long life in containers. The less branchy plants (eg. Cyclops) will put out one or two branches max, so there is always the possibility that you may lose one because it flowers, which motivates a backup plan in place pretty much continuously if you want to be sure you'll have a Cyclops in the garden next year.

Branching is more likely at certain times of year (fall-winter). And for container plants, branching is more likely in larger containers.

In comparison there are actually quite a few solitary Echeverias, or ones that are shy about offsetting until they get old. Some of the most desired are of this type (eg. laui, purpusorum) so they have a decent representation in cultivation.
