Botany Encyclopedia
Family : Crassulaceae
🌿 Photosynthesis
They use CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis, common in desert plants. This means they close their stomata during the day to minimize water loss and carry out photosynthesis at night. It's best to water them at night. However, they are sensitive to overwatering, so they should be kept in a well-ventilated environment without excess moisture.
Genus : Aeonium
🔖 Care Tips
In summer, plants are sensitive to heat and humidity. Install a shade cloth or ensure good air circulation to regulate the temperature.
🏝️ Habitat Conditions
The Canary Islands in North Africa have a consistently warm and dry climate. Therefore, it's best to keep the plant warm and dry.
🪨 Soil Mix
Use well-draining soil when planting. For succulents, typically mix potting soil and pumice in a 3:7 ratio. Adjust the ratio based on conditions and environment.
🌡️ Environment
Daytime temperatures should be 18-24°C, and nighttime temperatures should be 12-16°C. Keep the minimum temperature above 0°C. It's best to maintain low humidity.
👀 Characteristics details
Rosette-shaped plants require careful watering. Avoid letting water collect on the leaves, or ensure good air circulation after watering. These plants have succulent leaves that store water, so if the leaves become wrinkled, it indicates a lack of water. Water them at that time.
☀️ Light
This plant grows healthier with more light. If it lacks light, its color may fade, so ensure it receives as much light as possible. In summer, use a shade cloth to avoid strong sunlight.
💧 Water
Do not water too frequently. Water when the leaves become wrinkled or soft. In summer, growth slows, and in winter, the plant goes dormant, so it's best to water when the soil is completely dry. This plant closes its stomata during the day and does not transpire, so it's better to water at night. After watering, place the plant in a well-ventilated area.
🌱 Propagate
In spring, it's common to cut around a healthy growth point for propagation. After separating the growth point, let it dry for a few days before planting it deep in soil without fertilizer. Avoid watering for 3-7 days after planting, as the stem may rot without roots. Gradually increase light exposure, starting with indirect light, and maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C.
🪴 Repot
Repot healthy plants every 2-3 years in spring, as they do not grow quickly. Water them 4-7 days after repotting, not immediately.
💊 Fertilize
It primarily grows in spring and autumn, so using the recommended amount during these seasons will promote more vigorous growth.
😵 Toxicity
Some species are toxic, so it's important to keep them away from pets and young children.
