    I think this is a Aeonium Lindleyi var. Viscatum 'Irish Bouquet' but not looking happy in comparison to when I first got the cutting see pic 2. Does anyone know what's occurring? I've lots of succulents and thought I'd be able to care for it. TIA 20250122_145531.jpg 20250225_105833.jpg

    It looks as if it's being eaten by something. Slugs probably, they enjoy soft young growth. Where do you keep it ?

      Most of my Aeoniums tend to not look great coming out of winter, they grow fast for succulents so soon pick up as the light improves and days get longer.

      Just wonder if there could be possible mealy bug on the plant.
