Succulent- Aeonium Green/white Emerald- Rare

Rare Variegated Succulent

Elegant rosettes swirled with cool emerald-green and creamy white variegation. A collector’s Aeonium that shines in bright light, stays compact in containers, and rests through the heat of summer.

Description

This rare variegated Aeonium forms architectural, geometric rosettes marbled in fresh emerald‑green and creamy white. Cooler temperatures and bright light intensify the contrast, sometimes adding a delicate pink edge. Stems may branch over time, creating a sculptural, multi‑headed plant that looks striking in modern containers or rock gardens in mild climates.

Like most Aeoniums, it grows most actively in the cool season (fall to spring) and often idles or goes semi‑dormant during hot, dry summers. Provide excellent drainage, bright light with protection from harsh afternoon sun, and light, infrequent feeding for best color and form.

Note: Variegation pattern and final size vary with light intensity, temperature, and cultural conditions.

Plant Details

Botanical Name

Succulent- Aeonium Green/white Emerald- Rare

Common Name

Succulent- Aeonium (variegated “Emerald” type)

Size & Growth

Compact to medium; typically 8–18 in tall and 8–12 in wide; rosettes 4–8 in across; branching with age; summer dormant in heat.

Hardiness Zones

USDA 10–11 outdoors (9b with excellent protection); avoid frost below ~30–35°F (−1 to 1.5°C).

Foliage Type

Evergreen succulent rosettes; variegated green and creamy white; can blush pink in cool bright light.

Bloom Time

Late winter to spring; starry clusters on tall stalks. Each rosette is monocarpic (dies after blooming) but offsets continue the plant.

Growth Rate

Moderate during the cool season; slows in summer heat and during dormancy.

Light Requirements

Bright light to morning sun (4–6 h). Provide afternoon shade in hot climates or filtered light indoors; avoid scorching midday sun on variegated leaves.

Attracts Pollinators

Yes—bloom clusters attract bees and other beneficial insects when plants flower outdoors.

Indoor Friendly

Yes, with very bright light—east or south window or supplemental grow light.

Container Friendly

Excellent choice for pots and shallow bowls with sharp drainage; shows off rosettes beautifully.

Deer Resistant

Generally unpalatable to deer; browsing is uncommon in most areas.

Pet Warning

Aeoniums are widely considered non‑toxic, but ingestion can cause mild stomach upset. Best kept out of reach of curious pets.

Fragrant

Not noted for fragrance; grown for striking foliage and form.

Cut Flower

Rosettes can be wired into succulent bouquets and arrangements; flower stalks are not typically used as cuts.

Grows Well With

Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum, Crassula, Haworthia, and Curio (Senecio) in similar well‑drained conditions.

Care Tips

Planting Instructions

Use a pot with a large drainage hole; choose a shallow, wide container to showcase rosettes. Set crown at the same depth as the nursery pot; acclimate gradually to brighter light to avoid scorch. Space 8–12 in apart outdoors.

Soil Moisture

Water thoroughly, then allow the mix to dry at least 2/3 of the way before watering again. Reduce greatly during summer dormancy; never leave the rosette sitting in water.

Soil Type

Fast‑draining cactus/succulent mix amended with 30–50% pumice, perlite, or coarse grit; pH roughly 6.0–7.0.

Humidity

Prefers low to average humidity (30–50%). Ensure good air movement in enclosed or humid spaces to prevent rot in the rosette center.

Pruning Instructions

Gently remove dry lower leaves to keep rosettes tidy. Pinch or trim leggy stems in spring to encourage branching. Remove and discard the spent rosette after flowering; propagate offsets as desired.

Winter Care

Protect from frost; overwinter indoors in bright light if below 40°F (4°C). Water sparingly but don’t allow the mix to stay bone dry for prolonged periods during active cool‑season growth.

Planting Depth

Set at the original soil line—never bury the rosette. For stem cuttings, allow 2–5 days to callus, then insert 0.5–1 in into dry mix; wait a week to water lightly.

Fertilization

Light feeder: apply a balanced, low‑nitrogen fertilizer at 1/4 strength once monthly during active growth (late fall to spring). Do not fertilize during summer dormancy or in extreme heat.

Special Care

Manage summer dormancy with bright shade and minimal water. Rotate pots for even rosette symmetry. Watch for mealybugs in leaf axils; treat promptly. Avoid water pooling in the rosette center and use rain protection in prolonged wet weather.
