There are many methods to propagate succulents. The majority of common plants like to hang out in that middle triangle, near clay loam and medium loam. Offsets need a warm and dry place out of direct sunlight for the first month of their growth cycle. Aeoniums are prone to dormancy when they live in hot, dry climates. This is characterized by curled, droopy-looking leaves. To prevent water loss, excessive roots may dry up and split from the main plants during drought. Exposing the plant to extreme temperatures can cause damage to its survival mechanism.
