Additional photo of cutting on right

IDK what they are, just that they need more sun. Is the soil really wet?

Looks like an Aeonum of some species, but they're overpotted and underlit - these are full-sun plants, so if you can't give them full sun give them as much sun / light as possible and ease up on the watering. You also have them overpotted in soil that's not porous enough - cut the soil with 50% perlite and put them in smaller pots, about an nch of growing space around the roots.

Yes, well, they were not in the window at the time I took their photo, but they normally live in my south-facing window. As for overpotting, that was how the cuttings were handed off to me... 50% perlite seems like a lot, but I will do this when I repot. I did a quick image search of Aeonium, and they look related for sure. Beautiful plants in this genus. Thanks for the help!

50% perlite may seem like a lot, but they really need it to improve their drainage w/ this kind of mix. The Poster who suggested it has grown his share of Aeoniums, so he does speak from experience.

The overpotting & the too rich mix, both suggest they were potted up & given you by someone who doesn't know the correct & healthy drainage & potting requirements of most succulents.

Rupert,

These are generally from the Canary Islands, which get their rains in winter, hence their greatest amount of growing is going on now, despite the snow and ice I see outside my windows.

Aeoniums are great for several reasons - they're winter-growers, they're the only (possibly) plant genus with the vowels of the name in order of alphabetical sequence, and the genus name is also seven letters long.

If you see their natural habitat (great spareness generally) you'll realize 50% is not too much, in fact it may not be enough if you're watering too often.

Karen,

Soon I plan to be basking in bowers of Aeonium balsamiferum.

Hey Jeff,

It's gonna smell great, would that be in SD as I see you're coming in March? Am guessing those Aeoniums wouldn't be doing much in Canada, but then again, if they're w/ you ...

the more searching of Aeoniums I do, the less convinced I am that this is one, but whatever it is I'm sure all of the pointers about succulents will help me. I am going to try to get a good picture of the parent plant if I can, would still love to know exactly what it is...

Karen,

Yes, I'm lucking down there, and yes, all mine are in growth mode now.

Rupert,

The cilia along the leaves are a giveaway, but if you're convinced.....

Well, Rupert, I brought some more internet for your convincing pleasure.

This is your plant. You made me use my flash. Keep this between you and me, k?

Ryan, those are sooo nice...Rina

Lovely markings, I hadn't seen this one before. What's its name?

Somewhat like Aeonium simsii & somewhat like Aeonium barbatum, although I don't think you'll find the latter in the trade.

Awesome! That plant surely does look very similar to the cuttings I have! Thanks for posting the photo, hanzrobo.

This has been a good example of low-light morphing some plants into virtually unrecognizable condition.

Rupert, if interested, your pic would be a great addition to this discussion.

All the internet Aeoniums are belong to Ryan.

Well, if I own them, I will be know their names, for which I still count on my Ro.

Rupert, glad to help.

Good one, Jeff! Haven't heard that silly quote since my son graduated from HS. Of course, they drove me batty with it and now its running through my little head again. LOL
