Aeonium are from the Mediterranean and don't appreciate heavy summer water, which can lead to root rot or overgrowth encouraging pests. They will look more lush with infrequent summer irrigation, retaining their winter leaves. It is natural for Aeonium heads to shed lower leaves during Sumer, becoming smaller and more compact. Once winter rains come the heads expand, adding many new leaves. This summer stress is a wonderful seasonal change in the Mediterranean garden. | |

Notas de cultivo
Most Aeonium are monocarpic, meaning that a head will die once it flowers, usually replaced by the lower suckers on clumping varieties. This can often be overcome by removing the flower (but leaving the stem that held it) once the flower is past peak bloom. It will take time, but with some luck you'll get new growth along that stem instead of having it die completely.
Aeonium tend to be brittle, so should be kept back from high traffic areas where physical damage is a possibility.
When over fertilized Aeonium grow lush and soft, attracting aphids.
Interés especial
Most Aeonium easily propagate from stem cuttings, just snap a stem halfway down in the fall and plant it half of the way into your soil. Wait a week to water.
