Aeonium lancerottense

Aeonium lancerottense comes from habitats with dappled light, such as the understory of forests or rocky locations that provide natural shade. It favors partial sun but is also able to tolerate full sun.

Although Aeonium lancerottense can tolerate some heat, it mainly performs and grows during cooler periods and becomes dormant in summer. In hot summer weather, provide shade to avoid scorching from intense sun. Watering should be decreased or stopped during the hottest time of year to prevent root rot. Winter and spring are the times when Aeonium lancerottense grows vigorously. If temperatures do not fall too low, it will keep growing steadily.

Aeonium lancerottense only needs light fertilizer applications once or twice a year during its active growing season. Do not fertilize in winter or in summer when it is dormant. Use reduced fertilizer for plants that have been repotted and wait a couple of months after repotting before feeding. Fertilizing helps sustain healthy growth and encourages flowering.
