How we ship our plants

Most of our plants are shipped bare-root. Please note that the plant you receive may not be an exact likeness of the images shown.

アエオニウム 'Medusa' は、これまでに存在した斑入りアエオニウムの中で最も美しいものの一つです。アエオニウム 'Velour' の斑入り品種だと考えられています。オランダでアエオニウム 'Velour' から枝変わりしたという噂があります。

斑は非常に強く残り、成長するにつれて素晴らしい形を保ちます。夏には斑が熱い赤色になり、冬が近づくと外側の葉の縁がクリーミーホワイトに変化します。特にこのアエオニウムが成熟したサイズになると、美しく見事な組み合わせとなります。

夏の間は部分的な日陰で育てて斑を強調し、霜や寒さから保護してください。

On Arrival

アエオニウム 'メデューサ' is delivered bare-root and will need time to establish in its new pot. Unpack it carefully, remove the protective material and check that the leaves, stems and roots have arrived in good condition.

Plant アエオニウム 'メデューサ' in the compost recommended in this guide and spread the roots into a natural position rather than folding or forcing them into the pot. For the best start, bury a suitable section of healthy bare stem in the compost. This will anchor アエオニウム 'メデューサ' securely in its pot and encourage stronger root development. Aeoniums tolerate having part of their bare stem buried, but keep every leaf, branch junction and rosette above the compost surface. Tap the pot lightly on the potting bench several times to settle the mixture without pressing it down heavily by hand.

Wait five to seven days before watering. This resting period allows small root injuries caused during lifting and transport to dry, reducing the risk of rot. After this, water lightly while the roots establish. Begin the normal watering routine once the plant is firmly rooted and showing healthy growth.

Keep アエオニウム 'メデューサ' in a bright, sheltered position during establishment. Protect it from intense midday sunshine for the first week, then introduce it gradually to the recommended light conditions. Temporary softness or the loss of a few older leaves is normal while the root system recovers.

Watering

Water アエオニウム 'メデューサ' thoroughly, making sure the entire root area is moistened and all excess water can escape through the drainage holes. Allow the compost to dry before watering again. Follow our 3 D's method: drench, drain and dry.

Aeoniums do their main growing in spring and autumn, slowing right down through the coldest UK winter weather and pausing in high summer heat. Check the compost regularly through the growing season and water by how dry it feels rather than to a fixed timetable.

Keep アエオニウム 'メデューサ' much drier during hot summer weather, when it turns semi-dormant, and through cold winter conditions. The softer, paler variegated tissue bruises and rots easily, so water in the morning at the roots and avoid leaving moisture sitting in the rosettes.

Light and position

Provide アエオニウム 'メデューサ' with 日向 - 5時間以上の日当たり. Suitable positions can include バルコニー、パティオ、コンサバトリー. Bright light is required to preserve clear variegation and compact growth.

The pale areas contain less protective pigment and scorch more readily than green foliage. Introduce direct sunshine gradually, favour morning or late-afternoon sun and provide shade during intense heatwaves.

Avoid a dark position, which causes weak stretched growth and can reduce the quality of the variegation. Rotate the pot regularly for even development.

Compost and drainage

Plant アエオニウム 'メデューサ' in a free-draining mixture of approximately 60% multi-purpose compost and 40% horticultural grit or perlite, our recommended blend for Aeoniums. Always choose a pot with unrestricted drainage holes.

Select a container that is only moderately larger than the root system. Too much unused compost remains wet for longer and makes careful watering more difficult.

Terracotta is an excellent choice because its porous surface helps the compost dry evenly and allows air to reach the roots. A thin layer of horticultural grit around the plant also keeps lower leaves away from damp compost.

Feeding

Fresh compost should contain enough nutrients to support アエオニウム 'メデューサ' for approximately three to six months. Once these nutrients have been used, apply a balanced liquid feed at half the recommended strength every two weeks while the plant is actively growing.

Apply feed when the compost is already moist, preferably shortly after watering. This helps distribute the nutrients around the roots and reduces the risk of damage from concentrated fertiliser.

Stop feeding during summer dormancy and prolonged cold weather. アエオニウム 'メデューサ' cannot make effective use of additional nutrients while growth is paused, and soft new growth is more vulnerable to rot and frost damage.

Winter care

The recorded minimum temperature for アエオニウム 'メデューサ' is 2°C. Move it into a bright, airy and protected position before conditions fall below this level. A greenhouse, conservatory or bright, cool room can provide suitable protection for tender varieties.

Keep the compost much drier through winter, watering only around every six weeks on average, because cold, wet roots are particularly vulnerable to rot. Do not place the plant directly above a radiator, as warm dry air combined with weak winter light can produce distorted growth.

Use high-quality horticultural fleece as an additional layer of protection during short cold spells. Allow air to circulate around the foliage whenever conditions permit.

Summer care

In prolonged hot weather アエオニウム 'メデューサ' enters its natural summer semi-dormancy. The rosettes tighten and close, growth stalls and the colours may shift or deepen. This is a normal response to heat and nothing to worry about.

Variegated foliage needs closer watching now than plain green types: the pale, low-pigment areas scorch quickly under fierce summer sun. Give it a touch more shade than a fully green Aeonium through the hottest part of the day. Reduce watering while the rosettes stay closed and stop feeding. A half-strength liquid seaweed feed misted over the foliage in the cool of early morning, every couple of weeks, acts as a tonic that helps アエオニウム 'メデューサ' cope with heat stress without wetting the roots.

When temperatures cool and the rosettes reopen, gradually resume normal watering. Check the compost first, as a dormant plant may still hold moisture around its roots.

Repotting

Repot アエオニウム 'メデューサ' during spring when it becomes root-bound, unstable or too large for its container. Remove loose, tired compost and replace it with a fresh, free-draining mixture. Choose a new pot that is only moderately larger than the existing one.

Inspect the root system while the plant is out of its pot. Remove dead, hollow or rotten roots using clean snips, then leave any fresh cuts to dry before watering.

Keep the plant at its previous depth unless the profile specifically recommends otherwise. Burying healthy leaves or the growing point can trap moisture and encourage rot.

Common problems

All-green shoots can grow more vigorously than variegated stems and eventually dominate アエオニウム 'メデューサ'. Remove a reverted shoot cleanly at its point of origin as soon as it is identified.

Dry brown patches on the pale areas commonly indicate sun scorch. Move the plant away from intense afternoon sun and allow new foliage to develop under gentler light.

Soft stems and dark tissue indicate excess moisture, particularly in cold weather or summer dormancy. Remove damaged growth and allow the compost to dry.
