The succulent green aeonium displays a different kind of beauty

Green aeonium (Aeonium arboreum), a succulent plant in the Crassulaceae family, genus Aeonium, a medium-sized variety, with upright stems, prone to branching from the head, rosette leaf discs, leaves elongated ovate, leaf tips acute to shortly pointed, leaves green, with sufficient light, dark brown markings appear in the center of the leaf surface. Green aeonium is a succulent subtropical small shrub plant.

Native to the hillsides of the Canary Islands, where their natural distribution range includes the arid desert areas (of the Canary Islands). In spring, its rose-like rosette leaves produce large pyramidal panicle-shaped yellow small flowers, and each rosette dies after flowering.

Green aeonium has freely branching woody stems, forming a tree-like shape, but the plant itself is generally unlikely to exceed 90 cm in height. The leaves on the rosette are spoon-shaped, 5-8 cm long, bright green. The leaves are arranged in rosettes at the tips of the branches. The plant grows rapidly, from late winter to early spring.

It produces large numbers of very small, star-shaped, bisexual, raceme-type yellow small flowers. The flower stalk extends from the center of the rosette, and the rosette dies after flowering. If the plant has already produced side shoots, the other heads that have not flowered will continue to survive. If not, the entire plant will die.

In some regions with particularly cold winters, when the weather turns cold, it needs to be placed indoors and grown as a houseplant. Green aeonium grows very quickly, and overly long branches are prone to breaking due to the constantly increasing weight of the rosette, falling off from the plant body; broken stems can be used for propagation.
