Aeoniums are from the Mediterranean, making them a care-free plant for Bay Area gardeners. It is natural for aeonium heads to shed lower leaves during summer, 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. Once established, most aeoniums will survive in Bay Area gardens without additional water. Water your aeoniums at least once a month during summer and they will look more full and lush. Be sure to let the soil dry between watering or you risk root rot or aphids. | |

Notas de cultivo
This aeonium is not monocarpic, and makes a nice mound of heads with little effort.
Aeoniums tend to be brittle, so they should be kept away from high traffic areas where physical damage is a possibility.
When over-fertilized, aeoniums grow lush and soft, attracting aphids.
Interés especial
This Aeonium is easily propagated 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.
With this particular aeonium be sure to take cuttings from the outside of the clump, to keep the aesthetic character of the mound.
