Special Care
Aeoniums hate extreme heat and drought. They may go dormant during the summer and do not require any water, unless in arid situations. Their leaves curl in intense heat to conserve water. Growing them in damp shade will ensure that they continue to flourish. Their growth period is between winter and spring. When the soil has dried out, rehydrate it. Excessive wetness may result in root rot.
