Aeonium aureum, commonly known as Greenovia aurea, is a succulent perennial plant in the Crassulaceae family. Native to the Canary Islands, it thrives in subtropical climates. This plant is known for its rosette-forming leaves that resemble green roses. It undergoes a dormancy period during the summer months.
Aeonium aureum requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
土壤
This succulent prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to mimic its natural habitat.
肥料
Fertilize Aeonium aureum with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as 2-4-4, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as too much can harm the plant.
换盆
Repot Aeonium aureum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Use a well-draining succulent mix and ensure the new pot has drainage holes. Repot during the growing season for best results.
传播
Propagate Aeonium aureum 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 lightly moist until roots develop.
修剪
Prune Aeonium aureum to remove dead or damaged leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
毒性
Aeonium aureum is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.
