Care Tips

Easy Care Tips For Your Aeonium ‘Chanel’

Difficulty – Aeonium ‘Chanel’ is very Low Maintenance

Water – Only when completely dry.

Do not let them sit in water, remove any excess water after 2 hours to avoid Root-Rot.
Apr – Sept Water when dry (about once every 7-10 days)– Drench… Drain… Dry right out… Repeat.
Oct – Mar Water sparingly (3 or 4 tbs once a month). If keeping below 10 Degrees do not water at all, you will likely kill them.

Light – Most succulents thrive on sunshine.

Outside they get the best mix of light rays, but only when the frost has gone!
Thrives in the sunshine – Keep in your sunniest spot if growing inside. Conservatories and porches are great options as well as sunny windowsills, but outside in summer is best.
Do be cautious on the brightest of days the variegation in the leaves will leave it vulnerable to scorching, so offer a bit of shade if possible.

Heat – Do not let your succulents freeze.

Most succulents will tolerate low temperatures but do not want to freeze. Succulents will go dormant under 10 degrees and will not grow.
In this state they do not need any water, in fact watering will likely kill them when dormant.
Similarly during the hottest days they will also be dormant and not need watering.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Beautiful cactus. It's now happy in its new pot on my desk at work to keep it out of the sun for a few days. Amazing care in packaging it, it came without any damage and was sent swiftly. Looking forward to watching my new buddy thrive. Updated to add a progress photo a few months later. As you can see its thriving and super healthy and happy and has opened up following its period in transit

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Just received delivery of a number of different aeoniums. They were wrapped with care, and all appear to be as healthy as can be expected after being in a box for a couple of days. Really like the instructions on potting them on which I have followed. Thank you Ottershaw Cacti. (Pictures below show what I received before potting on)
