Aeonium arboreum 'Red Sunny'

Aeonium 'Red Sunny' forms rosettes marked by bold variegation, with deep green central streaks flanked by creamy stripes and edged in vibrant pink to red. The intensity of the pink colouring increases under bright light and cooler weather, creating a seasonal gradient of tones across the rosette. The leaves are smooth and slightly spoon-shaped, with the colour pattern giving each rosette a layered appearance. Over time, the plant develops branching woody stems, forming clusters of colourful rosettes. In late winter to spring, mature rosettes produce tall conical clusters of yellow star-shaped flowers before the blooming rosette naturally dies back, leaving offsets to continue growth.

Care Tips:

• Light - Position in bright light to full sun to maintain strong variegation and intensify the pink-red margins.
• Water - Water moderately during active growth and reduce watering during summer dormancy when rosettes tighten.
• Humidity - Tolerates low humidity and benefits from good airflow.
• Media - Use a coarse, free-draining succulent mix to prevent waterlogging.
• Temperature - Best grown at 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 mix to maintain drainage.
