A delicate Aeonium castello-paviae variety.
Pink tinges grace the edges of the leaves when exposed to strong sunlight in the summer. Offsets like crazy to form a beautiful, full succulent shrub. Cuttings can easily be taken to be given to friends and family.
Would be ideal in a rockery, on a granite wall or in a stadalone pot wherever you please.

How to Care For Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae
How often should I water Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae? 💦 +
The Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae would like to be soaked and left to partially dry, usually between once and twice per week in the peak growing season. It is advised to reduce watering when plants are dormant, usually during a heatwave, and to significantly reduce/ stop watering when conditions are frosty. If grown indoors over winter, water the plant lightly and directly to the roots when the plant is thirsty.
What soil is best for Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae? 🪴 +
Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae needs free-draining soil to thrive. Use a specialist cactus and succulent mix, or blend compost with horticultural grit, sand, or perlite. This keeps the roots aerated and prevents excess moisture, which can cause root rot. Adding a gritty top-dressing not only looks attractive but also keeps foliage dry, reduces fungus gnats, and helps regulate moisture. Healthy soil is the foundation of successful succulent care.
Does Crassula Aeonium castello-paviae var. sarae need fertiliser? 🌱 +
Yes, but only in moderation. Feeding helps maintain healthy growth and strong colours. Use a diluted liquid fertiliser for succulents or a balanced cactus feed during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply every few weeks when watering. Avoid fertilising during dormancy in winter, as plants are resting and don’t need extra nutrients. Too much fertiliser can cause weak, leggy growth, so always err on the side of less.
