30cm
This branching succulent will grow to an eventual height of 30cm. Aeonium ‘Red Edge’ will produce a tall central rosette with lots of smaller side branches.
Light requirements:
Full sun / Partial shade
Aeoniums have the incredible ability to change colour in different light levels. The cultivar Aeonium ‘Red Edge’ will grow best under a warm summer sun.
Water Requirements:
Regular when growing
Aeoniums prefer their soil to be kept more moist than most arid loving succulents. Keep the well drained soil moist during the growing season, and drier in colder weather.
Caring for this plant:
Spring & Summer: Water frequently and feed with a liquid high nitrogen fertiliser for maximum growth. Protect the leaves from slugs and snails. Grow Aeoniums in full sun to achieve the best colouration.
Autumn & Winter: Keep the root zone drier to prevent rot. Keep the leaves dry and store the plant at a minimum temperature of 5ºC.
