Sunburst Aeonium Care

The water needs of Aeonium Arboreum are like most other drought-tolerant succulent plants.

Aeoniums are dormant in summer and grow in the cooler months, unlike most other succulents. It is best they are left alone in summer, though they will need to be watered when temperatures rise. To prune Aeonium Sunburst cut the tallest head or the heads you do not wish to keep with clean scissors.

Feed this plant in its growing season using half-strength fertilizer every month.

This house plant loves full sun to partial shade. It grows indoors well as long as it gets sufficient light.

While the usual soil mix for cacti and succulents work well, this plant prefers a regular potting mix or sandy loam as it likes some moisture.

This succulent prefers temperatures between 40° – 100° degrees Fahrenheit (4° – 38° C). Hardiness zones 9 – 12 (USDA Zone).

Generally non-toxic to humans and animals. Large rosettes of fleshy, variegated leaves on thick, bare stems. The green, yellow and creamy white foliage develops coppery red tips in full sun. Pale yellow flowers appear mid-winter to early spring on mature plants. Adds dramatic texture to rock gardens and dry borders.
