Care & updates
- What to expect
- Growth varies with conditions; aeoniums may rest in hot summer weather. Reduce watering when growth slows rather than assuming a standard summer growing season.
- Feeding
- Every 42 days, Apr–Aug, with Cactus & succulent feed
- Repotted
Repotted into cactus & succulent mix when the shoots were taken off. The roots were gently teased out, as they'd started to circle (not pot-bound). No root photos: aeoniums don't like being disturbed.
Mother plant when the cuttings were taken - Observation
Big healthy rosette with two offsets on side stems. One old lower leaf yellowing, which is normal.
