Growing Notes

This Aeonium is monocarpic, meaning that a head will die once it flowers. This can sometimes 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.
