Dropping a few of the oldest leaves is normal. It looks fine to me.

If you have high humidity, I wouldn't think you'd need to water much at all.

Aren't these moving toward dormancy now?
I noticed that my Aeonium is tightening its rosette, so I've backed off on the water.

It's normal leaf loss - as the plant grows, the lower leaves die.

Josh, the poster is in Australia, and as such, they're going into growth mode.

Well that makes more sense, now doesn't it? ;-)

Thanks all! Yay.
It's usually pretty dry but last week was just unusually humid.

Haha, yeah I'm upside down with my seasons. Makes me wonder what this plant does in a season-less country?

Crenda,

Why not bring them indoors, as I have to do my Tylecodons and such, for the summer? Set them near a window and, other than the most minute watering once monthly, leave them alone. They'll start to spring back forward in September with their lovely, widening discs.

There are a few Aeoniums, IME, which do grow through the summer, but at a reduced rate. However, most of them enter their dormant stage at April, for the Northern Hemisphere. Their flowers last into May/June easily.

I didn't do my research when I bought the Aeoniums. I planted some in the ground, thinking I would have lovely tall plants surrounded by other succulents. That quickly proved to be a mistake!

I pulled these two back out of the ground and put them on the lanai, under cover but in bright light. It was so humid that I didn't have to water any of my succulents last summer. Everything was wet and even my jades dropped a couple of branches.

So I will take your advice and move them inside. I don't think they can take another summer outside. I do envy plants like the OP has.

Thanks!
