This is good timing to plant/root the Aeoniums! They like cold weather. But if it is still not rooted and rain is coming, do shelter the container first. Just bring it out again when rain is gone.

Thea, Aeoniums are so much fun to grow! Can take our super hot and dry temps and our mild winters very well. Just make sure to make your media very well draining and grittier since it can stay outdoors and take the rain, but has to drain well. If you are planting it in containers, it does not really need a very deep container. It does go dormant during our hot summers. I always enjoy the color change of the rosettes as the seasons change as well. I always take photos every month, they look so different and very colorful. If you are lucky you might just get them to bloom

The bloom last March 2015..thankful this particular type is not monocarpic!


This huge Aeonium unfortunately turned monocarpic..so now just a nostalgic memory I really miss this one
