Aeonium Pink-Cloud

Aeonium Pink Cloud

Aeonium Pink Cloud is a collectible plant prized for its tricolor variegation and intense colors.

Ornamental features

• Shape and rosette: It has compact, symmetrical and spectacular rosettes. It grows moderately and can form small bushes over time.
• Unique coloring: The fleshy, lanceolate leaves display a dazzling contrast:
  • Center: Generally dark to light green.
  • Margins: They show an intense and vibrant shocking pink, which can vary to shades of purple or red depending on the weather.
  • Variegation: It often displays white or creamy yellow spots or stripes, making it truly tricolored (or variegated).
• Color Intensity: The pink hue is accentuated by water stress, moderate cold or exposure to full sun, guaranteeing a spectacle of colors in autumn and winter ( Aeonium‘s active growth period).
• Size: Small/medium-sized rosettes, ideal for vases and arrangements.

Care and cultivation

• Growing Season: Aeonium grows actively in the fall, winter and spring, and goes dormant in the summer (the hottest period).
• Light: It needs direct to very bright sunlight to maintain its compact shape and develop its intense pink color. In summer, it can be beneficial to provide light shade during the hottest hours to avoid burns.
• Watering: Water moderately during the growing season (autumn to spring), allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings.
• Substrate: Essentially a well-drained, porous, sandy substrate specifically for cacti and succulents.
• Temperature: Prefers mild temperatures and should be protected from strong frosts and extreme heat during peak summer hours.
