Aeonium arboreum 'Bronze Teacup'

Aeonium ‘Bronze Teacup’ is a variegated cultivar forming rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves with striking cream and green striping along the centre and vivid pink to red margins. The colours can intensify in cooler weather or under bright light, with the pink margins becoming more pronounced, creating a layered pastel effect across the rosette. Its branching habit allows the plant to develop multiple rosettes over time, making it well-suited for container growing or ornamental planting. In late winter to spring, mature rosettes produce tall conical clusters of small yellow star-shaped flowers before the flowering rosette naturally dies back, leaving offsets to continue growth.

Care Tips:

• Light – Position in bright light to full sun to enhance variegation and bring out the pink edge tones.
• Water – Water moderately during the growing season and reduce watering during summer dormancy when rosettes tighten and growth slows.
• Humidity – Prefers low humidity and good airflow.
• Media – Use a coarse, free-draining succulent mix to prevent root rot.
• Temperature – Best grown between 10–25 °C; protect from frost.
• Fertiliser – Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser during active growth to support foliage colour and flowering.
• Repotting – Repot every 2–3 years or when offsets crowd the container, refreshing the soil to maintain drainage.
