Once the roots are well stablished. Right now they are getting ready to go dormant but roots will continue to grow. Hopefully next winter it gives you offsprings.

You can use rooting hormones if you have them. It’s not necessary though. They will grow roots without the hormone

For succulents I usually do water therapy on them if they are dehydrated. Other than that I plant them on the soil

Wow, everything about this is absolutely gorgeous!! I bought a small one of these a couple years ago, but it never really took off, and then it fried this past summer. The only aeonium I've found that does fine through AZ summers is some mystery variety that blushes brown in the sun. Blech. 💩

My daughter @sarahkbartley told me to put some of my plants in front of my south side front windows. The Mardi Gras was one of those plants. She was right. It’s now in the back garden house, hopefully the center will come out with the lighter colors. Will post that at a later date.
