How often does aeonium simsii need pruning?
As needed — rarely. Aeonium simsii is a low-growing, clustering succulent rosette that needs very little pruning. Remove any dead or dried-out lower leaves to keep the rosette tidy. If offsets crowd the pot, separate them rather than cutting. No routine pruning is required — the plant self-maintains its rosette shape naturally.
