Always fun to catch Aeoniums waking up this Fall, and they are enjoying the rains too, just good timing! Sticks no more for some of the cuttings Big Grin

I did have a summer casualty, my Aeonium hierrense. I really feel bad I lost two, but hoping it will follow similar cool season regrowth. I have only one left, and thankfully it caught up in time with the Fall cool down, so it seems perkier now:
My Aeonium hierrense last March 2016, showing just how green and big the rosettes were.

It was going good till July, but we have to leave last August, on our return it is lanky, which I attributed to the usual summer slow down. However two stems started to rot the leaves, so I just removed all of it and hope the stems will revive this Fall.

The sad leafless stems, so far stems still feels rigid and hard, maybe there is hope:

There is a portion on the lower part of the stem where it appears the bark has ruptured. Don't know if it has just dried out and healed itself, so far upper stem part remains stiff.

So now I only got this one Aeonium hierrense, hope it tries to make some more offshoots later in Spring.
