The original habitat of Aeonium (Mountain Rose) is the desert. In summer, due to high temperatures, it enters a dormant period, during which the entire plant stops growing. Even though it stops growing, we must always keep its environment well ventilated. And during the dormant period, the leaves will take on a wrapped state, and the outer leaves will turn dry and yellow. These are all normal physiological phenomena, so fellow gardeners don't need to worry. After getting through summer, it will naturally wake up and continue growing. The process of waiting for Aeonium (Mountain Rose) to bloom and wake up on its own is truly captivating!
The growing season is from mid-September each year to the end of the following year, and in spring until June. At this time, it is suitable to provide the plant with sufficient light, because although insufficient light will still let the plant grow, it will always make the plant's shape loose and the leaves thinner. In winter, just move it indoors, but remember that you should be diligent about ventilation. It is suitable to provide relatively ample light, and you must always keep the potting soil in a slightly moist state.
The root system of Aeonium (Mountain Rose) can be said to be fairly tenacious. As for water, the requirement is medium level. When watering, you can use the "water thoroughly when dry" method, or you can water by the soaking method, but note that the soaking time should be short. If water accumulates in the center of the leaves, you can absorb it dry with a paper towel or cotton swab. Don't think it's too troublesome; if you want Aeonium (Mountain Rose) to grow beautifully, you naturally have to put in some effort.
Repotting is best done in autumn. The requirements are few: it should be loose and breathable, and it can be said that appropriate granularity is best, and it is best to have a small amount of organic matter. Just as people cannot grow healthily without nutrition, Aeonium (Mountain Rose) is no exception.
