Aeoniums are a fascinating genus of succulent plants, celebrated for their distinctive rosette forms that can range from compact and dense to large and spreading. They are native to the Canary Islands and parts of Africa, thriving in mild, sunny conditions. These plants are often called ‘tree aeoniums’ because many varieties develop a woody stem as they mature, giving them a tree-like appearance. The beauty of this collection lies in its variety, promising an exciting journey as you watch each cutting develop into a thriving plant.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your aeonium succulent cuttings is a rewarding experience, leading to beautiful, thriving plants. While these are unrooted, the process of rooting and subsequent care is straightforward. For optimal growth, Aeoniums prefer bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. If grown indoors, a south-facing window or a grow light will be beneficial. Outdoors, they can tolerate full sun in coastal areas but may prefer some afternoon shade in hotter, drier climates to prevent sunburn.

When it comes to watering, less is often more. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during their dormant period in summer. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent demise. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to prevent root rot. These plants thrive in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and are generally hardy in USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones, they should be brought indoors during winter or protected from frost. Fertilize sparingly, once or twice during their active growing season (fall to spring), using a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Keep an eye out for common pests like mealybugs or aphids, which can be treated with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Learning how to grow aeonium from cuttings is a simple and enjoyable process.

Size & Details

This collection includes assorted aeonium succulent cuttings, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches in diameter for the rosettes.

These plants are known for their moderate growth rate, and once rooted, they can quickly establish themselves and begin to produce offsets, leading to a fuller, more substantial plant over time. Expect your cuttings to begin showing signs of rooting within 2-4 weeks under ideal conditions, with visible new growth appearing shortly after. The mature size of the plant will vary depending on the specific variety, with some growing into compact clusters and others developing into larger, more tree-like forms. This collection provides a fantastic opportunity to grow aeonium from cuttings and enjoy their unique beauty.
