Aeonium 'Dynamite' quick care tips
Watering
Watering
The Aeonium 'Dynamite' 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 'Dynamite' 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 'Dynamite' 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 'Dynamite'
Bred to be a compact variety capable of surviving temperatures below freezing, it inherits its resilience from Aeonium aizoon, a miniature species native to the Canary Islands, and Aeonium ‘Cornish Rose’, another hybrid with dark foliage from Surreal Succulents.
Where should you plant it? Due to its compact and balanced appearance, it thrives in planters without overcrowding surrounding succulents or shrubs. Unlike other Aeoniums, this variety remains incredibly compact and does not go dormant during the summer.
An absolute winner and ideal for those of you that love Aeoniums but only have a small amount of space to grow them.
