Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

Aeonium canariense is a rosette-forming succulent from the Canary Islands, storing water in its fleshy leaves and tolerating dry spells far better than wet roots. Give it gritty, fast-draining mix and bright light; it can take some direct sun but is better acclimated gradually to avoid scorch. Water deeply only when the soil has dried out, and let the top couple of inches go fully dry before watering again.
