x Semponium 'Destiny' quick care tips

Watering

The x Semponium 'Destiny' 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

x Semponium 'Destiny' 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

x Semponium 'Destiny' 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.

x Semponium 'Destiny'

Plant Of The Year winner at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022

A unique plant due to its distinctly dark, veiny leaves. Colours range from bright green to a very deep purple in strong sunlight. An interesting feature of this variety is the way that it can hold its dark colours all year round, unlike most other purple Aeonium hybrids. This plant grows to 60cm across on a single rosette, but is prone to branch once the main rosette can sustain new growth, usually after a year or two.

Awarded Plant of the Month for August 2024.
