the reddening means they're shocked probably by too much light suddenly... should've moved them out of shade in steps maybe a week a stretch at a slightly brighter spot. Same with the temperature change. Oh & don't water too much :)

these things like good sun & I doubt mine would survive indoors too long

your leaves look anorexic & skinny too... dunno if it's a different variety but I'm more used to the dishlike rosettes that more flatter & more compact with no air gaps between leaves

If 10 degrees C = about 50 F, couldn't they have gotten too cold & then hit w/ the heater, too warm? Why is there any mention of sand? It's not good for succulents unless it's coarse sand.

Looks like an overly wet potting mix, first of all. Second, not enough light.

I have a somewhat anemic Aeonium because I have to grow it indoors during the Winter.

a little update like you can see they got red so i think the sun is enough ?

but they get soggy all sad looking i cant find the reason why ? is it the cold from my window ?

i even put tape on my door so you can see so the cold air doesnt come in im confused

all hints are welcome and thank you alll for replying i will try alll the things you guys told me and lets see what works

but i will be amazed if they make it till spring

Pls. re-read the comments which address your unfortunate soil mix. I questioned the sand & said that was bad for it, others have questioned the soil as well.

That's a big problem if not THE problem. I doubt things will improve if you don't address the soil problem; it's the foundation for everything else. Good luck.

what have you been watering them with & what's your local water quality like?

plants can wilt even if their soil is damp but there's too much salt buildup in there, regular flushing is good preventative

Watering too much and letting them sit in water-retaining soil will do that to succulents...

That soil is THE PROBLEM. You've been informed about what to do - let's hope you heed the advice given. Otherwise one might as well put the plants in a compost bin.

Yes, see above. Most if not all succulents have a colorful reaction when in proper sun, so from the appearance of your plant, you have the sun about right.

I see, like others have seen, that this soil is behind these problems. Almost all house plants are sold with that same water-cloggy mix, and rarely do people know how to take care of the mix. Your problem is poor drainage, caused by the quality of the soil. You will need a gritty mix that drains better than the mix you have.

Once that is done, the plant should start improving.

Good luck!

ive ignored the first comments about soill because i know what succulents like these succulents have plenty of grid and sand and potting soil

only the top i put normal soil i hate looking at sand and stones

but ill make a new mix soon and repot them seeing its spring soon :)

If you knew what succulents like, the plants wouldn't look as they do. Lots of sand and potting soil is not a recipe for success. 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink' seems appropriate here. Aeoniums are in growth now - they won't be in later spring.

I guess my main question would be why you posted your question asking for advice when you purposely ignore it? Isn't that a waste of time?

this is anoying ... i dont wanna be rude but i think you need to learn how to read...

ignoring some soil answers no one cares, and second of all i didn't ignore anyone ;P
its just that i already know with soils they need

And your first part the plant does look how it does with good soil thats why my questions are on here

we have different climates so these are not in growth now -...- thanks :)


anyways More hints are always welcome peep <3 thunkssss

The condition of your plants proves my points, but if you want to believe that you know better, OK. You've already been told all you need to fix your plants. I guess I cannot fix intentional ignorance with some suggestions.

Last week brought in a litre pot that I originally filled with really chunky C&S commercial bagged mix - mainly large chunks of pine bark. Was wondering why it was retaining water whereas other identical pots of same C&S flowed like a sieve.

Turned out this particular pot was an uppot for some seedlings that were germinated in a cupful of jiffysoil (probably some type of peat or coir). This little handful of fine stuff (originally just laid on top; must've washed down) was enough to gunk up whole potful of chunky bark to the point it didn't flow any water out the bottom... water would rather overflow over the rim!

Wyatt, what you have listed as your soil components are not good for your plant. I know that they are commonly recommended by lay people, and I used to use them, too. This forum is full of very knowledgeable people, some of which are trying to help you address your soil issue. EVERYONE here cares about soil...it's the most important part of caring for your plant. If you change the way you think about soil and read some of the detailed threads on soil composition on this forum, your plant will be healthier. It might not outright die of you don't (or it might) but it certainly won't thrive. I myself am not happy with plants that limp along in inferior soil. I can't believe how much happier my plants are since making the switch. Good luck with your plant!

i never said the information was useless i said i would take all info to hearth <3 and i always will i just thought the soil was great because it came from someone with millions of good aeoniums

and it turned out the soil was rotting it was dry but had dry white stuff on it
so peeps were right about the soil but i did do my own kind of soil mix with stones river sand and stones

and it did the trick but not enough then i took them out of the heat from my house went down in some degrees with my heater and started giving them spa and not water from the house

and took somerosets of and it started sprouting i think it was a big lag of enery and heat change and the soil tooo

ALL the hints people gave me i took to hearth
and all of them were really helpfull :D

It definitely looks better!

Glad to see improvement and the offsets growing from decapitated trunk.

They don't like extreme heat & humidity, but around 20*C is no problem...not sure what temps are they in now?
