haha no worries. i always love seeing plants make it back from near obliteration! go zwartkopf! we have lots of aeoniums planted in the back as well but i am worried with the winter coming up, because here in sf it rains a lot during the "winter," and even though that's the season for aeoniums' growth, i think that the water will be too much. i have been thinking of how to protect them when the time comes. maybe i'll plant an umbrella. :) in the meantime i have really enjoyed watching this aeonium develop and learn about its odd "behaviors"

Thanks rina! I suppose that could be a possibility. The areas with the indentations are pretty thin and there are some on the lowest level of leaves that have changed to a tannish color. There is even one mark that seems to be on both sides of the leaf, top and bottom. Others are just on the top side or the bottom side, not both. She’s is pure pumice and only gets watered when dry although it does dry out pretty quickly so it is sometimes more often than my other echies. As for temps, the room gets a huge amount of afternoon west facing light, and with the grow lights going it’s gotten as warm as 75 in there (depending on outside temps) though typically mid to high 60s, during the daytime right now. The thermostat is set for 62, so it drops at night when the lights go off.

Thanks Matt, they are in my greenhouse (dry house as I call it) it's fairly open to wind/air but waterproof from the rain. My special things go in there for the winter.

I don't know if this helps you or not...but, one thing i've come to learn from living all over California and having grown may succulents of all types for many years is that you must learn which micro-climate you're growing in. California is huge so knowing this is key to success in my observation. In the La Jolla area we get a maritime layer which some of my plants thrive in while others do not. We are at the mercy of what they call "May Gray," and "June Gloom." Find ways to anticipate this and protect your plants as best as you can. Now that we are over "the drought" i have to safe-guard my plants from the deluge of rain we now get in our winter-time. Knowing this now i make sure my soil is quick-draining and in a grittier mix. If your plants appear the same day after day, week after week etc., make sure they're not in a state of dormancy. Aeoniums for example are summer-dormant so i do not water them. They flourish again in cooler temperatures. If you're really having an issue choose a plant and remove it from its pot and thoroughly inspect the roots. Make sure the root system is healthy and insect-free. Many plants stop growing when attacked by insects. Many plants also seem to enter a sort of "stasis" when too hot or too cold. My echeverias for example have curled into a ball due to the excessive heat. This is the way the plant protects itself. They will "bounce" back when the temps cool off a bit. Compare the growing conditions you currently have your plants in to the native environments they come from and adjust as best you can. Absorbing all this will find you one day with all the skill you need to grow your plants successfully. You will know exactly what to do and when to do it. Time and patience will soon pay off. There are many forum members here so full of knowledge and a wealth of experience i am still amazed by it. I still also show up here to learn more from them. --All the best : )
