Aeonium ‘Kiwi’ (Aeonium decorum ‘variegatum’ )

Aeonium 'Kiwi', scientifically known as Aeonium decorum 'Variegatum', is a captivating succulent characterized by its rosettes of variegated, multicolored leaves. The leaves typically feature shades of green, cream, pink, and red, resembling the colors of a kiwi fruit, hence the name 'Kiwi Aeonium.'

This plant has low to moderate water requirements. Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Aeonium 'Kiwi' thrives in full sun to partial shade. Providing bright, indirect light or direct sunlight for a few hours daily enhances its vibrant colors.

Maintain mild temperatures and provide protection from frost. Indoors, place it near a sunny window or under a grow light to ensure it receives adequate light. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix for potting, allowing excess water to escape easily.

During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize 'Kiwi' Aeonium every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support its growth and maintain its colorful foliage.

Please note that Aeonium 'Kiwi' is non-toxic, making it safe for homes with pets and children. Its striking variegation and low maintenance make it a popular choice for succulent gardens, containers, or indoor displays, adding a touch of vibrant beauty to any space.
