Care guide
This Aeonium cultivar prefers semi-shaded conditions and it is advisable to keep this cultivar under 40% shade cloth. To enhance its colouration, it can be carefully adjusted to a bit more light. Plant it in a well-drained, airy soil mix. Coco peat and pumice or perlite is recommended. Water often during the growing season, as this plant prefers slightly moist, but not wet, soil during this time. Do not let water sit on the leaves as it is prone to sunburn.
