Cultivation Method of Aeonium haworthii
This article provides you with detailed knowledge about the succulent plant Aeonium haworthii, its cultivation method. The following is a comprehensive introduction.
Aeonium haworthii belongs to the Crassulaceae family, the genus Aeonium, native to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Aeonium haworthii is a subshrub with many branches, with leaves growing at the top of the stem and the tips of branches, forming a rosette leaf disk. The leaves are obovate, the plant easily forms clusters, and the leaves are green to yellow-green, with eyelash-like cilia on the edges, very cute. The leaf surface and back are smooth, slightly powdery, and the leaf tips are pointed.
Aeonium haworthii has a moderate growth rate, is a perennial plant, with corymbose inflorescence, flowers are light yellow, and cross-pollination occurs.
Aeonium haworthii prefers a warm, dry, and sunny environment, is drought-tolerant, can withstand temperatures as low as -3 degrees Celsius as long as the potting soil is dry, and the leaves will slightly appear lackluster at -3 degrees Celsius, but it will recover and stand up again when the temperature rises. It can tolerate partial shade, but if shaded for too long, the leaves turn green and easily become elongated. It is best not to expose it to direct sunlight in summer, some shading is sufficient, and less water is needed.
The soil can be planted with fertile, well-draining, and breathable cultivation soil. I use a mixture of coal slag with a bit of peat, vermiculite, and perlite, which is quite breathable, and cover the surface with granular natural river sand. Aeonium haworthii grows very明显 in cool seasons, and it will briefly enter dormancy in summer due to high temperatures but not for long. Throughout the summer, I also give it plenty of water, basically drenching it. If the root system is good, there won't be any problems.
The propagation of Aeonium haworthii can be done by cutting the rosette leaf disk in early spring and inserting it, and the remaining stem will produce suckers. It is a very easy-to-propagate species, and if not pruned, it can grow tall and form more attractive old stakes.
