I love those when they get the variegation and a bit of pink. i have a Zwartkop or similar in a bright South facing kitchen window and I'm still getting my head around summer dormancy. I wonder when is the best time to behead one.

Good lock Angela. I'd probably separate a pup when you can and then you can try different environmental approaches.

@pete yes! I do want to separate them soon because they are getting to heavy. I am reading conflicting info on when is the best time to do that. Was reading this morning that fall is the best time when they are actively growing again. I too have problems understanding the summer dormancy because I know plenty of people that have these aeoniums planted outside and they do fine in the summer. I also still water this one when the soil dries out. I just wish I knew why the leaves curl downward. Oh how I wish plants could talk! Haha

@socks okay I can do more sun! I do take it outside in the mornings for sun, and I have wondered about the pot too. I honestly don't like that pot, I am trying to get rid of all plastic so it will go in terra cotta soon. Thank you! Yours are so beautiful! I hope I can get there with this one! Thanks for your help!

As socks said...not bad looking plant, but slightly etiolated, and probably lack of light is why the leaves turn downward. They also do that in high heat, but it probably is not your case since you keep them inside (and do not know how hot is it where you are right now?) It should be at least little colored if in enough sun.

As you can see in photo socks posted, they are branching plants - so why rush to cut off any branches? Unless you need a new plant...With proper light, it will be able to self-support.

They do not like very hot & humid weather.

Switching to a clay pot would be fine. I like the ones called "azalea pots," but not sure if those are widely available. They are shorter than standard clay pots.

Your best plan would be morning sun, bright afternoon shade outside if you can do that. Bringing it inside is probably not helping it get the light it wants.

As for taking cuttings from the plant, then you'll just be left with one stem which will look a little like a Dr. Seuss tree (forgive me, I don't mean to offend!)..... UNLESS--you take those cuttings and properly re-root them at the base of the Dr. Seuss tree to cover the tall stem and make a fuller looking plant.

Now would probably not be the best time to do a cutting, maybe in the fall. Your plant won't change much this summer since it's dormant, so don't get frustrated if it looks the same for the next few months. Have fun!
