Tree AeoniumAeonium arboreum

Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of death for Aeonium arboreum. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring good drainage.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. In warmer climates with active growth, water as needed to prevent wilting.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, and encourage branching. Cut stems back to a desired length; the cut ends can be used for propagation.

Pruning can be done year-round but is best done in spring to encourage vigorous new growth after the dormant period.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots develop.

This method is highly successful, allowing for rapid expansion of your collection.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before active growth begins.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
