Facts about Aeonium.
Aeonium is a genus of about 35 species of succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae, native to Macaronesia in the Canary Islands, Madeira and Cape Verde.

How to care for Aeonium
Sun and shade needs.
Aeoniums are a diverse group of succulents that come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Some Aeoniums can tolerate full sun, while others prefer partial shade. When choosing an Aeonium for your garden, it’s important to know its sun and shade needs.
Some Aeoniums, like Aeonium haworthii, are native to shady habitats and will sunburn if exposed to too much sunlight. Other Aeoniums, like Aeonium arboreum, are native to sunny habitats and will become etiolated (stretchy and leggy) if they don’t get enough sunlight.
To avoid problems, it’s best to match the sun and shade needs of your Aeonium with the conditions in your garden. If you’re not sure, err on the side of partial shade. With proper care, your Aeonium will thrive and bloom for many years to come.
Watering needs.
Aeoniums are drought-tolerant, but they will produce more flowers if given a deep watering once a week during the growing season. If you allow your plants to go completely dry, they may lose some leaves, but they will quickly recover when watered again.
In the winter months, water only enough to keep the leaves from shriveling. Too much water can lead to root rot, so be careful not to overwater during this time.

Temperature needs.
They do best in average room temperatures of 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. If it gets too hot, the leaves will start to wilt and if it gets too cold, the plant will go into shock. Aeoniums can tolerate a brief period of temperature fluctuation but they don’t like drastic changes.
Soil Needs.
Aeoniums are not fussy about soil type as long as it is well-drained. They will rot if the roots sit in water, so if your garden has heavy clay or poor drainage, grow them in raised beds or containers.
Plants in pots will need more frequent watering than those in the ground. Use a potting mix formulated for succulents or make your own by mixing together equal parts potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand.
Aeoniums are not heavy feeders, but they will benefit from an annual application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring. If you grow them in containers, fertilize every other month during the growing season.
Fertilizing Needs.
Aeoniums are not heavy feeders, but they do benefit from a light application of fertilizer during the growing season. I like to use a balanced liquid fertilizer (one that contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) diluted to half-strength and applied every other week.
If you grow your aeoniums outdoors, be sure to fertilize them only during the spring and summer months, as too much fertilizer can lead to leaf burn. Also, avoid using a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content, as this can encourage excessive growth of the plant, which can make it more susceptible to wind damage.
Propagating Aeoniums.
Aeoniums are one of the easiest plants to propagate. They can be propagated by stem cuttings or offsets. I will show you how to propagate aeoniums by stem cuttings.
To take a stem cutting, cut a piece of stem about four inches long. Make sure that the cutting has at least two leaves. Remove the bottom leaves so that there are only two leaves on the cutting. Dip the end of the cutting in rooting hormone.
Plant the cutting in a pot filled with well-draining soil. Water the soil and place the pot in a warm, sunny location. The cutting will root in four to six weeks.
To propagate by offsets, remove a offset from the parent plant. Plant the offset in a pot filled with well-draining soil. Water the soil and place the pot in a warm, sunny location. The offset will root in four to six weeks.
You can propagate aeoniums year-round. However, the best time to propagate them is in the spring or summer.
Transplanting Aeoniums.
If you’re thinking about transplanting your Aeoniums, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First of all, Aeoniums are succulents, so they don’t need a lot of water.
In fact, too much water can actually kill them. Secondly, Aeoniums like to be in bright light, but they can’t handle direct sunlight. Lastly, when transplanting Aeoniums, be sure to use a well-draining potting mix.
Now that you know the basics, let’s get started. When transplanting Aeoniums, the first step is to remove them from their current pot. Gently loosen the roots and then lift the plant out of the pot. Next, you’ll need to choose a new pot.
Make sure it has drainage holes and is big enough to accommodate the roots of your Aeonium. Once you’ve chosen a pot, add some well-draining potting mix to it.
Then, gently place your Aeonium in the pot and add more potting mix around it, being sure to cover the roots. Water your Aeonium well and then place it in a bright, but not direct, spot.
Repotting Aeoniums.
As succulents go, Aeoniums are some of the easiest to care for. They’re tough, they don’t need a lot of water, and they can survive in all kinds of climates. But like all plants, they need to be repotted every now and then – especially if they’re starting to look a little pot-bound.
So how do you repot an Aeonium? The first thing you need to do is choose a pot that’s just big enough to accommodate the plant’s roots. You don’t want to use a pot that’s too big, because it will hold too much water and could potentially rot the roots. Once you’ve chosen a pot, add some drainage holes to the bottom and fill it with a well-draining succulent potting mix.
To repot your Aeonium, gently remove it from its existing pot and loosen any tightly compacted roots. Once the plant is free, place it in the center of the new pot and backfill with potting mix, gently tamping it down as you go. Water the plant well and place it in a bright, sunny spot.
Pests and Diseases.
Aeoniums are generally very easy to grow and are quite tolerant of neglect. However, they can be susceptible to a few pests and diseases. The most common problems are mealybugs, scale insects, aphids, and root rot.
Mealybugs are small, fuzzy insects that feed on the sap of plants. They can cause stunted growth and yellowing of leaves.
Scale insects are small, hard-bodied pests that attach themselves to the stems and leaves of plants. They suck out the plant’s sap, causing yellowing and stunting of growth.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied pests that feed on the sap of plants. They can cause distorted growth and yellowing of leaves.
Root rot is a fungal disease that can kill aeoniums. It is caused by too much water, which leads to the roots rotting.
To prevent pests and diseases, it is important to keep your aeoniums in an area with good air circulation. Water them only when the soil is dry, and don’t let the leaves sit in water. If you see pests, remove them by hand or use an insecticidal soap. If you see signs of disease, remove affected leaves and stems.
Common problems with Aeoniums.
One of the most common problems with Aeoniums is that they can be susceptible to rot. This is usually caused by too much water, and can be remedied by increasing drainage or allowing the soil to dry out between watering.
Another common problem is powdery mildew, which can be treated with a fungicide. If your Aeonium is affected by pests, you can treat it with an insecticide.
Finally, if your plant is not getting enough light, it may become leggy and produce fewer flowers. To fix this, move it to a brighter location.
