THis is one of my favorite Aeoniums, and I find it very easy to grow here in California. From a cutting, just stick in soil, and I have yet to have one not take. Howeve, in THIS inland climate, it is NOT a good full sun plant, at least in the summer. I have many cuttings/plants growing around the yard, and all the ones in summer get necrotic patches on the leaves, and the rosettes shrink a bit (see latest photo). The great thing about them, other than the spectacular colors, is they slowly change their color patterns over a year period, rarely looking the same from month to month. Sometimes they are nearly pure pale yellow, others pale green, but most of the time, some striped transition in between.
