Watering
Watering
The Aeonium gorgoneum would like watering between once and twice per week in the peak growing season. It is advised to reduce watering when plants are dormant due to a heatwave and to significantly reduce/ stop watering when conditions are frosty.
Feeding
Feeding
Aeonium gorgoneum likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.
Ideal soil
Ideal soil
Aeonium gorgoneum needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.
Aeonium gorgoneum
Aeonium gorgoneum is a species that is rarely found in cultivation. It is not like most Aeoniums as it is not from the Canary Islands, instead in grows in the more tropical Cape Verde Islands. It has attractive light green-yellow leaves that take on a pink tinge in strong light levels.
