How to Grow and Care
Your primary focus should be on the development of an ideal environment for these plants. They need very little care if the plants are happy in their environment. Indeed, when they are left in a balanced outdoor environment, they do quite well.
Keep your climate in mind when considering placement for your plant. These plants come from sunny, mild Mediterranean environments, so that they are not suitable for extreme cold and heat.
Position your plant in the heat during the hottest part of the day if you live in an area where the sun is shaded.
As Aeonium keeps water in its stems and leaves, it is rather shallow in its root system. You can see new roots coming from the stem if your plant is root bound. This means that you have to repot your plant. This also indicates the need for a new, larger pot if your plant starts dropping stems. Keep your stalks falling! When you place them on the surface of a good, well drained soil, they will germinate and become new plants...- Learn more at TIPS: HOW TO GROW AND CARE AEONIUM
