Beginners Guide to Aeonium Succulent Care & Propagation

[@marisolresendiz-garcia573]

You have a beautiful garden. I wish my climate was more like the Southern California one. Thanks for the tips!

[@FreePlantsForever]

Thank you! We’re definitely lucky with our California climate here, but luckily these succulents can do well in a lot of climates, indoor and outdoors.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your garden . I fell in love with aeonium when my friend introduced it to me recently so I am in the beginner stage.When I saw your video I am so happy that you showed more of its kind and I wish I could have some of your free cuttings. More power and sure I will watch more of your videos.Happy gardening.

This is probably one of the best informative videos I have ever seen. From the very beginning you have told me virtually everything that I wanted answers to. I live in the damp area of the North West of England UK so my Aeoniums are all in pots in a South Facing Window as we get very cold & frosty Winters. As I'm a novice at growing Aeoniums and slowly increasing my collection you have been a brilliant in helping me to succeed with what I have at the moment. One thing that I'm uncertain about is the exact growing season, and also what Months do they go dormant plus when is the best time to re-pot. Any help is appreciated and thank you very much for your help. Stuart.

When outside or planted in-ground, Aeoniums would normally go dormant in the summer, when they get very hot and dry - they are saving their water and energy, unlike other plants that would traditionally go dormant in the cold winter. These are warm-climate plants, so they are a little opposite that way. When in pots or indoors, they don't necessarily go dormant at all. I have some outdoor irrigation and the Aeoniums that are getting regular water don't go dormant. I would usually re-pot in the fall, when they are coming out of dormancy and starting their growing period, but again, Aeoniums grown in pots don't necessarily have the same growing seasons. I have found they are so hardy, they can really be re-potted year round.

[@anacionqtfixo]

I live in a very rainy area and aeoniums really like it, they can tolerate tons of rain

[@joannmcculley8253]

You answered all my questions! From pronunciation to propagation, I'm all set to get my aeonium to flourish. Your garden is absolutely beautiful

[@anacionqtfixo]

I love the aeonium sunburst; and the kiwi one

[@FreePlantsForever]

Yes, the variegation is so beautiful.

[@rosegriffis2129]

Wow so cool

[@FreePlantsForever]

Thank you!

[@pandalover3556]

Beautiful! I have several varieties of Aeoniums in my garden as well as jade plants. I’m also from central coast California and they thrive so well because it is never too hot or too cold. Thinking of selling the cuttings on Etsy come spring time.

[@FreePlantsForever]

I really love aeoniums, and they grow so quickly - once you cut them you'll get even more! I have too many now and need to start giving them away!

[@benedictededorlodot680]

Do you water when you stick the callused cuttings in the soil? The soil in the planting pot you are showing on the video looks quite moist but I want to make sure of how much water I need to give them when I stick them in the ground.

[@barbmclean3478]

I have that same question!!!

[@barbarasmith3967]

Do you sell any of your cuttings?? Please say yes 😂😂😂

[@soulstarguidancereadingswi4938]

Beautiful, thank you so much. Great presentation ❤

[@mariawatson4156]

Hi there, thank you so much for the info. I am a newbie at this and I am already in love with succulents❤ I love your collection! I love that neighbors put out for free on their sidewalk❤️ I will be visiting in August. Can you give me a hint where your neighbors are located? 😜

[@FreePlantsForever]

Haha, interestingly if you check Next Door or Facebook marketplace, people often say when and where they will be leaving out their cuttings.

[@deleg.1403]

Great video!

[@dennisalgabre897]

Can i plant aeonium this summer?

[@FreePlantsForever]

Aeonium do go dormant in the summer. You can certainly plant them, but it just might take longer to establish and look their best. My favorite time to plant them is in fall when it's a little cooler and they're less likely to get sunburned.

[@drakeweddner]

Does only the specific rossete that bloomed die my plant flowered and is still happily chugging along

[@FreePlantsForever]

Assuming it's an aeonium and not another type of succulent, they do often create new pups before they flower to carry on living 😁

[@drakeweddner]

@@FreePlantsForever sorry I'm a bit confused I got this plant from my grandmother it's very large and old so you're saying every separate stock is a individual plant I was under the impression that it was all one plant with multiple stalks

[@drakeweddner]

@@FreePlantsForever I'm almost positive it's aeonium I'm pretty experienced with plants I'm relatively new to be an interested in succulents it looks just like an aeonium the rosette groves on a long thick stock and they will turn purple if they get too much sun but it's in a big pot with at least seven stops coming out probably more and it breaks easily when it gets bumped so I have removed like 15 stocks and propagated them

[@makaimaukahasopinions848]

Wow

[@Carine.432]

Hallo , eben habe ich dein video entdeckt. Leider spreche ich nicht englisch. Kannst du bitte die deutsche sprache aktivieren. Dein garten ist sehr interessant und wunderschön. Ich hätte gerne meine Äonien verzweigt. Ich weiss nicht wie ich das machen kann. Vielleicht kannst du mir helfen ? Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland in die USA ❤ Du hast wirklich herrliche pflanzen ❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤

[@LM-auntBIGG10.]

I'm looking on Google. And it says that it can take 3 to 10 years to flower is that true

[@FreePlantsForever]

That sounds about right, but luckily they always seem to create new pups before they bloom.
