Juster!
I did cut its head off when it first started to flower! Didn’t help! That is 8n greenhouse in flower! The rest continued to flower regardless!
Determined!

Re: Aeonium Rubrolineatum
Gosh, beheading it definitely not kind! Seriously, I have heard before that this doesn’t work, so you have rather proved that. I checked my Aeoniums this morning, none show signs of flowering, thank goodness!

I was cross. Most of these I have more than one but not Rubrolineatum…..typical. Every single rosette has flowers!
It definitely does nor work! I’m going to try and keep the stem in the hope it will regrow! I’m not holding my breath! It seemed drastic when I chopped it! Within a couple of days it was flowering again.

Presumably if you behead a solitary-growing Aeonium well before it has decided to flower, it will offset normally and can yield cuttings suitable for propagation?

Re: Aeonium Rubrolineatum
That makes sense Ed, probably worth doing.

Re: Aeonium Rubrolineatum
I'm not sure it is a good idea!
It would be good to know from anyone with experience of this.

Re: Aeonium Rubrolineatum
Works with most but I've been told that with some particularly stubborn species it doesn't, they die or just grow one new head!
An A.hierrense I bought last year started flowering and then stopped and carried on growing. It was a good sized plant to buy but nowhere near full size for this species and I think the shock of being sent bareroot and repotting in an English winter (I bought it from Kerveat before Brexit) caused it to think it was on its way out I think! Still I've never heard of that happening before.
