Aeonium lindleyi, commonly known as the Canary Island Aeonium, is a succulent subshrub native to the Canary Islands. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is known for its rosette-forming leaves and yellow flowers. This plant thrives in subtropical climates and has a dormancy period during the summer months.
Aeonium lindleyi 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 as it can lead to root rot.
土壤
This plant prefers well-draining sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.
肥料
Fertilize Aeonium lindleyi with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as over-fertilization can harm the plant.
换盆
Repot Aeonium lindleyi every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.
传播
Propagate Aeonium lindleyi through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.
修剪
Prune Aeonium lindleyi to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
毒性
Aeonium lindleyi is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.
