If it were mine, I would keep it in a sunny location and pinch back the plant to just above the second or third set of leaves to promote side growth.

WL,

Like your Aeonium's post, and Chris's response, this plant doesn't sound like it has enough sun, and Chris's response will restore your plant to its former glory. This plant should have filtered light pretty much all day to prevent this condition from happening again.
