Aeoniums

 Aeoniums are fascinating succulent plants.  A few years ago I was given one, and since then it's gone through a number of different forms.  The most recent was quite unpredictable. Six months ago I had two plants they weren't doing much.  I transplanted them in fresh compost in bigger pots, as a friend suggested.  In retrospect I should have used a much grittier growing medium, but nevertheless one plant thrived, shown below, and the other didn't.  


  I cut the stem of the less vigorous one in half and planted the top half.  The top isn't growing, but the stem of the bottom half has produced lots of little rosettes.  



What will happen next?  Will all the rosettes grow out of the stem?  I'll keep you posted.
