Help me, please, says Aeonium

Isomorphix, welcome back. I will know an answer to your question if my little Aeonium would have new rossetes. It stagnates, but I haven't lost hope yet.

Dear friends, glad to see you all.

Evodevo, I simply do not know what else should I do. It is still alive, but doesn't grow at all.

Aeonium is a genus of about 35 species of succulent, subtropical plants of the family Crassulaceae.

The name comes from the ancient Greek "aionos" (=immortal).

Most of them are native to the Canary Islands. Some species are found in Madeira, Morocco and in eastern Africa (for example in the Semien Mountains of Ethiopia).

The rosette leaves are on a basal stem. Low-growing Aeonium species are A. tabuliforme and A. smithii; large species include A. arboreum, A. valverdense and A. holochrysum.

Aeonium are not frost-resistant. They are related to the genera Sempervivum, Aichryson and Monanthes, which is easy to see from their similar flower and inflorescences. Recently, the genus Greenovia has been placed within Aeonium.

The rabuliforme is effectif a basal stemmed plant there where as the smithii is a branched plant, I should say a shrub.
For the Greenovia , it is not yet doen. Quit a lot of people doesn't accept the change , normal , the flowers are not identical with the Aeonium.

Recently, the genus Greenovia has been placed within Aeonium.

as you can see on the pics those two plants are completely different.
The A. tabuliforme grows realy adapting the undergrown , the A. smithii is a little shrub upto 50cm ,high and with hair on the stem (the only one in this genus)
The A. tabuliforme dies after flowering , the A. smithii makes new branches just under the place where the flower stalk finished and died.
Have a look to my albums on public.fotki.com//cactusexcorica and the others in webshot mentoined in fotki
