Hello Audrey!
I usually keep my older, more established plants, like the Aeoniums in their own containers. These Aeoniums have been in my care since 2010, a gift from my aunt. So far through the years I have them, I know these Aeoniums go semi-dormant in my area during summer because of our excessive heat. It keeps the rosettes but the growth is limited and very tight. Once late Fall arrives with its cooler temps all the way to Spring, it looks that way, leaves more actively growing, more elongated.
I love the deep burgundy color it gets into around April just as the seasons transition again, not too hot and not too cold for it yet, then eventually dropping all of its older winter leaves to prepare for its summer slumber.
Some succulents are active summer growers. Aeoniums are more active when temps are cooler. When you do have to repot, consider doing it during the onset of cooler temps. If you do it in summer when it is too hot, you are just in for a very, very long wait. They are sleeping. So it may look like they are doing nothing. What time of the year were you doing the repot?
