Aeonium crested sunburst rotted!

Hello. I am new to this site and happy to read I am not the only one with an aeonium crested that began rotting within weeks of my getting it. It came from California, but because I live in a cold climate, I re-potted it in sandy soil with good drainage. I cut away the rot and have barely watered it at all. But whenever I did, more rot. So today I took it out of the pot, took cutting from it (many many!) and will let them callous and air root, then plant them back in the pot. Anyone know why this happened?? Anyone have any comments about whether I am doing this last step right?

Welcome, Susan! This thread gets very little exposure, and I have no knowledge about the plant you mentioned, so it's best if you ask your question where more people will see it. Here's a good place to start:
