Aeonium Nobile beheading.
I believe nobile is single rosette aeonium. I have managed to root some leaves and they are so fast, but I wonder what will happen if I behead it like echeveria. Will it give shoots? Anyone has done it?

Not frost tolerant. I had one I bought in the late summer a few years ago. A deal. Then I think we had a typical frost in winter- no big deal.It melted at that.

Re: Aeonium Nobile beheading.
Even leaves are fast and easy. I ordered mine from &USA as cuttings. They travelled 1 month. Some of the leaves dropped from drying in the box. I just put them in a tray with some echeveria leaves That had pups already. It produced babies on all 5 leaves much faster than the echeverias. Conclusion: leaves are better dried well before planting.Agavemonger wrote:Heads and offsets root relatively easily.

Re: Aeonium Nobile beheading.
Another posting on that here a couple of years ago was of this growing in San Francsico and described as a heavy pupper for a plant that is said to be forever solitary. So,they mentioned it might be a hybrid at heart. I dont know. Maybe somebody -like with some Aloe's - found one that does pup naturally and of course like all the books say ,THAT'S the one that spread around the world.

My local nursery here in the East Bay has two stocks of Aeonium Nobile in store, one stock is solitary rosette while the other is prolific with 6-7 heads bunching on the same branch. Funny stuff. I'm eyeing the solitary one, looks like it could make for a pretty bloom in the future.

Mine died after I beheaded it but now the other ones have side shoots.

Re: Aeonium Nobile beheading.
I would guess that the offsetting plants are hybrids. I've seen this in its habitat - the Canary Island of La Palma - and where it grows away from other Aeoniums it looks correct and solitary. As soon as you see it growing with others nearby it changes. Promiscuous plants, aeoniums, but this one seems to have particularly loose morals.

He he he he! We call them Hule here in Africa or prostitutes....Hope they will grow big, but so far it has been so easy from leaves. If removed properly 100% success and faster than echeverias.Paul S wrote:I would guess that the offsetting plants are hybrids.
