Clustering Aeonium nobile
In the photos you will notice 3 large Aeoniums each are separate plants, planted closley together. What I have questions about are the offsets growing between the leaves of the larger plants, between the two larger plants I counted 17 plants growing between the leaves. When the little plants become larger I would like to propagate them. Are they as easy as other Aeoniums to propagate from cuttings or should I be more careful with this not so common Aeonium.
Thanks in advance. Michael

I have what is probably the same clone as you on this plant. A. nobile by description is a solitary and non ofsetting species. So either this just happens to be a rare offsetting clone that has been spreading due to it's characteristic, or it is a hybrid. I have some very large clumps that I am waiting on to flower and see if this gives some clue's If it is anything but Red Red, it is most likely a hybrid...... but even red flowers couldn't confirm it isn't........ Ether way, it is a cool plant and if it does have red flowers, it is worth propagating. You can easily break of the individual rosette's and root them in perlite.. just wait until they develop their own individual stems, which they will in no time.

The leaf doesn't quite look thick enough to be pure nobile to me, nor do the rosettes look quite 'right' somehow - less solid looking? - so that might lend weight to it being a hybrid.

If it is a hybrid and not true species is there any way to know what it could be crossed with? This is the only Aeonium nobile I have ever had experience with. Thank you for your replies and interest.

The flowers could give a clue, but it is very doubtful you could get a valid ID. I have been trying to figure this thing out... The leaf's are quite fat and other than the clumping, it seems the to fit the description. I have a clone form the Huntington that is solitary but the plant looks the same.... I was hoping I would get flowers this year, but no luck so far.

Interesting-I do have A. nobile but never offset it stays solitary...
I have the same question regading Agave 'Blue Glow'---that I thought from what iv'e read that it will not offset but it's offsetting in between the leaves and beneath the roots like crazy-I will post photos shortly under the right plant topic-- --sorry I know it shouldn't be in this topic-- LB
