Watering
Watering
The Aeonium balsamiferum 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 balsamiferum 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 balsamiferum 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 balsamiferum
A really structural plant, this Aeonium is so named because of the strong pleasant balsam fragrance of its pale green leaves. Originating from Lanzarote, it has erect, branching growth to around 1 metre with bright yellow flowers in mid-summer.
