Black Aeonium
1. Soil selection
For planting Black Aeonium, choose fertile, loose culture soil with good drainage. You can use different kinds of garden soil, mixed with peat soil and vermiculite and perlite, so that the soil is breathable. If the soil is not breathable or not fertile enough, the leaves of the Black Aeonium you grow will become pale, appearing purple with green, which affects its ornamental value.

2. Temperature control
Black Aeonium likes to grow in a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight. It is drought-tolerant, not cold-tolerant, and slightly shade-tolerant. Spring and autumn are the vigorous growth periods for Black Aeonium, when it grows relatively fast. The suitable temperature for Black Aeonium growth is 18-25 degrees Celsius. In winter, the temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius, otherwise the plant's leaves will turn warm and leaf drop will occur. In summer, pay attention to ventilation, reduce watering, and place it in a bright spot without direct sunlight.
