We had an Aeonium specialist in Phoenix come to the CACSS and she said that she puts hers under a tree in total shade and only gives a little water in the summer. Some of hers (she had many varieties) don't even stand that because of the night heat. She brings them inside and lets them rest there for the summer with even less water. They don't look very good, but as soon as the weather changes from hot nights she moves them back out and they come right back. Here's mine that I brought in in June and watered once in July. The window is under a patio so no direct sun gets to the plant.
