Hi
I don't know where you can get as Aeonium's don't do very well up here I have one struggling along in the shadehouse.
I will check my lists and see if I can find a supplier for you. It should strike readily enough from a rosette treated with hormone powder and sat just on the surface of the cutting medium I usually use a mixture of about 50/50 sand and normal potting mix for things like Crassulas and Kalanchoes etc.

| I don't know about Aeonium nigra, but Jocelyn Ainsworth has a few varieties on her mail order list and her plants are very good quality. She has an ad in under Cacti & Succulents in most gardening magazines. |

Is this the same as Aeonium Arboreum or is it different?
If it's the same I got one from Lake Nurseries P.O. Box 336 Monbulk Vic 3793 (about $5). If it's different they still might know where to get one. Tracey |

Hi
I have Mail order lists for most dealers and it is not in any of them. How about doing a Google search to see what you can find out about it .

I have, what I bought as Aeonium 'Black Rose " it was very dark then but since I have had it under shade it has changed to a much lighter colour, there are quite a few newheads on it now, far too many for the trunk to carry, should I cut them off and stick them into some potting mix.
Could this be the one you are looking for with a more common name ? |

hello there,
I am fairly sure that I have a whole bunch of what you are looking for. The one that I have is dark in the shade but it changes to green and purple in the sun. I could be wrong but if you want some of mine you can email me and I will be quite happy to send them. I have got four that are about half a metre high, maybe a bit bigger, and they all have lots of little bits you could rip off and use for cuttings. And if it's not the plant you want you can chuck it in the bin!!!! johnhome77@hotmail.com

| Tesselaars in Melb. have them in their catalogue. You could get in touch with them, but I think it is the wrong time of year for their orders, but you could ask. Their email address is orders@tesselaar.net.au |

I also have one called Scharzkoff. It is very dark, almost black. Got it from either Tesselaars or Lake Nurseries in Victoria.

| Rudolf Schulz has this plant. www.tarrex.com.au it may not be on his list, but he may sell you some if you request especially. Aeoniums have a definite rest period which is during summer when they shut down completely here in Vic. They begin to come to life now in Autumn. They may be difficult to grow in the warm northern winter. |
