Thanks for the photo of the root section Angela! Plant has a good fighting chance!! Just do not water too much yet. It is still developing the roots. Agree with using warm water and watering thoroughly once a month works if the plant has already made a good root system. Your plant is just barely pushing out the roots, so it is a bit slow process. It will be adjusting in its set-up. Since it is Spring and warmth still slowly coming about, do not be too heavy in watering, just enough to moisten the soil. I have learned to water on the farther edge of the container, and not too close to the stem.

I think with succulents, the hardest part at times is leaving them alone Big Grin Put the plant in semi-shade for now, not in full sun yet.

@gg5, I have always loved and enjoyed Aeoniums and have been growing them outdoors in a container year round. They survive so well here in any season. But then again our winters are much milder, we do get wet winters, but the rain is in hiatus this time, so my plants just enjoyed the cool temps. Hope your plants start growing back its leaves. As long as the stems are not mushy it is alive. Just taking its sweet time. I have one stem that I have chopped off the head, and it took about a year to start growing new rosettes, such a slow process. I am leaving it alone, letting it do its very slow growing. Big Grin
