I think I have mentioned on a previous thread that I put mine in a potting shed last year and lost most of them as they froze and went mushy (even down here in Cornwall). Won't be doing that again!
They are now in my conservatory along with all my other succulents.
Some of the aeonium leaves are starting to wilt but I'm not really going to worry as they tend to perk up again when they are put outside again.
I tend to take any cuttings in late spring once its been outside for a bit and livened up.
Used to live in Winchester (Hampshire) but love it here, wouldn't live anywhere else.
My mum gives me plants from her garden in Hampshire and tells me that they will grow to X height. I plant them down here and they end up twice the size!

I am revisiting this thread because I'm worried about my Aeonium 'Zwartkop' again... it's that time of year.
I've brought it indoors and healthy leaves are dropping fast.
How and when should I take cuttings? My precious plant is very leggy after last years ordeal.

Usually pretty mild here on the north coast too but we did have a good few days of frosty weather last year.
After discovering them, I did bring them inside in the vain hope that they may survive, but no luck unfortunately
This is true, although I am an incomer! Married a Cornish boy. Been here for 15+ years so not quite 'local' yet!
