This is its growing season & that's what it's doing. But it looks like it's not getting enough sun. Can you acclimate it to some more? It will be happier. Aeoniums are winter growers!

Oh, I see! So it is actually growing? Can I say that the 'stretch' in the second picture is a sign of etiolation?

About the sun, there is a huge tree in front of my balcony and it is taking all the sunlight :( My plants only get glimpses of the sun and probably about 2-4/5 hours of sunlight (I haven't observed as much as I should have) - apart from that, they are mostly in the shade because of the tree. I try to re-position them when I am at home to get more of the sun, but that is not always the case due to school :( There is no other place to put the plants aside from the balcony. How many hours a day do the aeoniums need sun?

Hi...I have the same plant a friend gave to me and its tall and leggy and light green in color and when I got it, it was dark purple....it now sits in a south window can't get more sun then that in this house...the only time it looks good is outside in the summer.....I to would like to know what else I could do to get it to look as it did when I got it....linda
