Aeonium 'Chanel' is a cultivar with vivid foliage displaying deep burgundy to near-black central tones and bright red margins, creating a striking colour contrast. The rosettes are broad and symmetrical, with spoon-shaped leaves that intensify in red colouring when grown in full sun or during cooler weather. Seasonal changes can enhance the vibrancy, giving a dramatic flush of colour during winter and spring. Mature rosettes produce tall conical clusters of small yellow star-shaped flowers, after which the flowering rosette dies back while offsets continue to grow and develop.
Care Tips:
Light - Position in bright light to full sun to bring out the strongest red and burgundy tones.
Water - Water moderately during the growing season and reduce during summer dormancy when rosettes close and growth slows.
Humidity - Tolerates low humidity well but benefits from good airflow.
Media - Use a coarse, free-draining succulent mix to prevent waterlogging.
Temperature - Grows best between 10-25 °C; protect from frost.
Fertiliser - Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser during active growth.
Repotting - Repot every 2-3 years or when offsets crowd the container, refreshing the soil to maintain drainage.
