Yes, it has grown a longer stem

Used to be this short when I first got it in 2007:


It would drop the lower, older leaves before summer comes:


Sideways view of the Aeonium right now: has been trying to get as much sun as it can

That's really cool!

Looks like the big aeonium could use a little padding on the part of the stem that is leaning on the pot...sort of like my old knobby knees needing a garden cushion pad when I kneel to prune/tweezer/spray my semp beds...

My hubby is worried it might topple down, I told him not to worry, it seems ably holding itself ..and that stem feels quite hard and firm

You're the Momma and know best. Thanks for the side view which showed how incredible that plant is!!

What I really want this plant to do is to make new babies..still hoping!

I have another Aeonium I got in 2012- Aeonium hierrense, this one is more generous in making babies.
When I first got it in Feb 2012:


by April 2012, had to repot since it is getting bigger and has quickly made two new babies


I made another repot of same plant in May 2013: adding other succulents


Mommy plant enjoyed the bigger pot, grew big fast, and shelters the smaller ones with her wide leaves:

I'm late to reply, but Superb pictures Justin of the Cactus flowers and all of yours of to Tarev!

Mammillaria hahniana

(Photos taken on February 18, 2012. The plant continues to flourish but today when I wanted to photograph it started to rain.)

Lovely one too Justin!

I hope those pictures have been added to the database @Justin

They sure do need to be in the database!!! Justin, just the cactus alone is so cool and then the flowers on top of it! Wow!

Very nice, photos. Love that cactus!

Mammillaria spinosissima (03 March 2014)

Got some new plants over the weekend, as we get on and off rains..late season winter storm..but we will enjoy it, need that rain here!
Lewisia - love the blooms on this one! I am keeping it by the window for now, will repot in awhile.


Echinopsis chamacereus - also getting ready to bloom, all so wet too, so hiding by the window to dry out.


Sempervivum 'Oddity'


Sempervivum 'Kalinda'

Very nice! Please post to the database when you can.

Thanks Hetty! Yup, have put them there..well except for the Lewisia..I do not know where to put it, do not know what type I got. oh well..

Glad I went back upstairs, Peanut Cactus has bloomed Glad that bud held on from being very wet from the nursery to indoors in our home over the weekend!

You could propose a general entry for 'Lewisia'. @tarev

Great looking blooms on the cactus. You may remember I got a bag of succulent cuttings last fall and have rooted them indoors over winter. Lost a few things, but others have done well. Yesterday the weather was feeling like Spring, so I took them outside for a little sun. The ones in the largest planter were just replanted from 2" pots yesterday. The one in the lime pot is sedum Rubrotinctum. A lot still need IDs.


Here's a Portulacaria Afra Varigata that grew some over the winter.

Glad your cuttings survived to make it to bathe in sunshine, Susan. I noticed your containers, (rectangle green and oval black) that I was looking for all last year and couldn't find any. This year I see them everywhere. I have one rectangle that is the "go to" planter for any interim plantings that I don't know where all the plants will end up finally. Love that these pots are so light weighted.
