Aeonium arboreum 'Kilimanjaro'
cancel Sold out
Aeonium ‘Kilimanjaro’ is a variegated cultivar with rosettes displaying a bright green centre and bold cream to yellow bands along the leaf margins. The outer portions of the leaves deepen to burgundy or near-black, giving a strong contrast between light and dark zones of colour. Seasonal changes and strong sunlight can intensify the burgundy tones, while cooler weather may enhance pink edging. This colour layering gives the plant a dynamic appearance through the year. Mature rosettes produce tall, conical clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers in late winter to spring, after which the flowering rosette naturally dies back, leaving offsets to continue growth.
Care Tips:
- Light – Place in bright light to full sun to enhance variegation and deepen the burgundy leaf tones.
- Water – Water moderately during active growth and reduce watering during summer dormancy when rosettes tighten.
- Humidity – Performs well in low humidity with 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 the growing season to support foliage colour and flowering.
- Repotting – Repot every 2–3 years or when offsets crowd the container, refreshing the soil to maintain drainage.
