Aeonium diplocycla (syn. Greenovia diplocycla) originates from the Canary Islands, Spain. I thought the almost spherical shape of the new leaves was particularly interesting.

Greenovias are so lovely 🌱
My pink dunce caps ocean 🌊, they are not variegated 😉 · · · From Instagram
I haven’t checked on these lads in a while and WOW!! The greenovia look like hats now! I love these so much.
The one in the white pot started off pink, but as it grows it turns green. I’m not sure when they’ll go dormant again since I’ve had them inside, away from the intense heat (when they usually go dormant) but we’ll see.
This is my first Greenovia, and she is the mama of a lot our customers’ greenovias 👩👧👩👧👦👩👦👦👩👧👧👩👦 🤣🤣🤣 · · From Instagram
The glow up is very real. In 2 months time the Greenovia have decided to wake up and spread out.
Aeonium aureum ex El Hierro (formerly Greenovia aurea) seedlings! (~5.5 months)
These were struggling for a while, but it looks like they’re resumed growth for the most part and are getting bigger! They’re still teeny tiny (but very cute) and I can’t wait to see what they’ll end up like as adults!
Supposedly they’re going to end up looking like pink roses, but seed sellers online tend to use idealized “stock” photos of species that aren’t necessarily representative (or even the right species in my Costus afer’s case) so we’ll see! The Greenovia-type Aeoniums are all very adorable though so I’ll be happy with whatever I end up with, I’m sure! (I have two other Greenovia species, A. dodrantale and A. diplocyclum, but they aren’t doing quite as well.)
I’ve said this a lot before, but Crassulaceans are not easy to raise from seed because of how often they end up stalling or being unable to root properly due to their size and the granularity of the medium, so I’m happy that I got six growing here! (As opposed to one or two for the others.) (If there are any tips on raising these people have figured out let me know! I have to use toothpicks sometimes to get them to locations where they can root.)
