DETAILS

Care Instructions
Aeonium nobile requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate low humidity levels. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This succulent is relatively low-maintenance and can adapt to various indoor and outdoor environments.
Soil
Aeonium nobile prefers well-draining, sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal for this plant. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
Fertilizer
Fertilize Aeonium nobile with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 2-4-4 during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as succulents generally do not require heavy feeding.
Repotting
Repot Aeonium nobile every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot with good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its roots.
Propagation
Propagate Aeonium nobile through leaf cuttings or offsets. Take cuttings during the growing season and allow them to callous over before planting in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until new growth appears.
Pruning
Pruning is generally not required for Aeonium nobile. However, you can remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxicity
Aeonium nobile is not toxic to pets or humans. It is a safe choice for households with animals and children.
Additional
Aeonium nobile may enter a dormancy period during the hottest part of the summer. During this time, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest. Resume regular care once the plant shows signs of new growth.
