Aeonium arboreum 'Red Fuji'

Aeonium ‘Red Fuji’ is a variegated cultivar with bold, irregular patterns of cream, light green, and deeper green across its spoon-shaped leaves. The leaf margins often blush pink to red, especially in cooler weather or when grown in strong light, enhancing the contrast against the lighter centre. This shifting colour palette gives the rosette a layered, painted appearance that changes with the seasons. Over time, the plant develops a branching habit, supporting multiple rosettes. Mature rosettes produce tall conical clusters of small yellow star-shaped flowers in late winter to spring, after which the flowering rosette naturally dies back, leaving offsets to continue growth.

Care Tips:

• Light – Position in bright light to full sun to encourage strong variegation and bring out pink to red edge tones.
• Water – Water moderately during the growing season and reduce during summer dormancy when growth slows and rosettes may tighten.
• Humidity – Handles low humidity well and benefits from 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 – Feed with a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the active growth phase to support healthy foliage and flowering.
• Repotting – Repot every 2–3 years or when offsets fill the container, refreshing the soil to maintain drainage.
