Method of Cultivating Aeonium
Let's talk about the cultivation of the succulent plant Aeonium, specifically its cultivation methods. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Aeonium is relatively difficult to cluster, and it may only split into two heads after three years of sowing. The plant dormant in summer and grows in other seasons. The peeling period is similar to that of Lithops, but it is longer. During the peeling period, more exposure to the sun and less watering is needed. By the end of April to May, it will basically finish peeling. If watered during this period, the peeling period will extend to summer. Aeonium's peeling is the slow drying of the outer old skin, providing nutrients to the new plant, while the new plant's leaves grow simultaneously.
The planting material for Aeonium should be mainly permeable and breathable. This species is not very tolerant to direct sunlight and must be shaded in summer. Spring is the peeling period, so it can be exposed to full sun. During the peeling period, some watering can be appropriate. This species can be watered when dry, otherwise the new leaves may be sunburned or wilted. Aeonium is watered when completely dry, and the pot should not be soaked. During the whole summer, it is shaded and placed in a bright and well-ventilated area with diffused light. Only a small amount of water is given in the summer, as too much will cause rot. Watering can be resumed after the temperature drops in autumn, gradually increasing. From early autumn to late winter, they will bloom beautiful flowers. If the plant is full, there is no need to add water, and water should be added immediately when the leaves are a bit wilted.
In winter, it is necessary to prevent the temperature from being too low to avoid frostbite. There is no problem at minus 3 degrees Celsius if the potting soil is dry. There are significant differences between the north and south, and enthusiasts should cultivate it according to their own environment.
Aeonium can be propagated by sowing or dividing the plant. The plant looks nicer when it has formed a cluster.
The above introduction is the complete content of the cultivation methods of Aeonium. I hope it can help you, and at the same time, I hope everyone will come to see more green plant and flower experience and common sense!
