Aeoniums in march..

Some of my favourites Sandra.
They are lovely, and they look very healthy. Thanks for sharing this Blog.

do yours flower?

Not yet Sandra but fingers crossed. I'm taking some cuttings from our plants that are being overwintered in the kitchen. It would be nice to see some flowers on the mother plants this year.

there is no rhyme or reason to the flowers in my expierience. mostly mine tend to flower in the autumn, but this one has never done it before.....

Thanks Sandra. I will let you know if we have any success with flowers this year.
All best wishes,
Grenville.

all look really healthy sandra and glad to see all your care over winter was worth while :o)

thanks Sandra....i had my doubts a few weeks ago but i was sooo glad to see all the new growth yesterday..;-)

Well done Sandra. You have plenty of cuttings and how exciting too. It's nice to be able to get on with things :o)

Swartkop.....does this one flower Sandra?.......lovely healthy looking cuttings you have there :o)

they all flower Amblealice...every now and then one or two pop them up...usualy (for me) in the autumn. no insects around then to polinate them. but if this is a flower and if it does manage to survive i might get some seed which would be amazing....

Hywel its wonderfull to get our hands dirty again isnt it....im off out there again now...more sorting and potting..;-)

Interesting and useful blog, Sandra...
... and lovely beach pics from Lilly :o)

Good healthy cuttings Sandra, Do they sell well at the nursery? it's been another bad year for them hear in Cornwall, because we all leave them outside we've been caught out again, but I'm sure there are still a lot of survivors further down west, towards Penzance.

most of my garden ones died last year Pamd....so i was more careful this winter and brought more under cover...yes they do sell well, i have trouble keeping up with demand...

They certainly look nice and healthy thanks for showing them to us.

Gorgeous aeoniums, Sandra! And, no wonder you wanted to share those stunning beach pics. :-))

nice blog sandra.......... lovely beach pics

Sandra you have a beautiful selection, and your babies look so healthy, our black one is rather leggy compared to yours, how do you keep it looking so good in the winter?
Great beach photos.....

thank you all ;-)

the way to make aeonium bushy is to cut the main shoot....it seems harsh but it will reshoot within a few weeks. you also get a cutting from the top bit...

Thanks will get hubby to do that....lol

Sandra, thanks for this lovely pictures! Your Aeonoums are beautiful! Don't have any, so they are in my wish-list. :)

Uma they are so easy to look after...they thrive on neglect in the summer but they do need protection in the winter...

Thank you, Sandra, for the information! Think, I'll find some room in the house for one of these wonderful plants...:)

I would like to have a go at growing aeoniums....and it's something I could do in the house as I have no greenhouse. They are beautiful and the photos of the beach....well, wow...lovely :)

thanks Whistonlass.
i have realy enjoyed bringing all my plants back indoors this week. they look great when they are all together.
aeoniums like an even temp in the winter.. so avoid the living-room better in the passage or porch or bathroom. and its very important to let them dryout in the winter, i have watered my big pots now and will try to avoid doing it again till spring. smaller pots will need topping up once or twice but less is definately best...

Thanks for the advice, Sandra. I would probably just start with one bowl and see how I get on...and I'll not overwater or too warm a room.
