Aeonium Mardi Gras Care

Aeonium ‘Mardi Gras’ has typical watering needs for a succulent. It's best to use the “soak and dry” method, and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

When aeoniums get leggy, cut off the tops, leaving an inch or two of stem, and throw the rest of the plant away, roots and all.

Feed during the growing season with a half-strength balanced fertilizer every month or so. Do not feed while dormant.

This plant prefers to experience drier soil in summer while it goes through dormancy.
