Succulent- Aeonium Kiwi

Succulent classic

Color-shifting rosettes with lime, cream, and pink edges; a compact, container-ready Aeonium that shines in bright light.

Description

Aeonium ‘Kiwi’ forms neat, branching clusters of spoon-shaped leaves in tight rosettes. Variegation ranges from lime-green to golden cream, often flushing rose-pink along the margins, especially with bright light and cool nights. Unlike many succulents, Aeoniums grow most actively in the cooler months (fall through spring) and can go semi-dormant in peak summer heat. Rosettes that flower are monocarpic, but the plant offsets freely to maintain a tidy, mounding habit ideal for containers and rockery accents.

Name notes: Listed here as “Succulent- Aeonium Kiwi”; botanically recognized as Aeonium haworthii ‘Kiwi’.

Suggested Uses

Decorative containers
Patio & balcony planters
Rock & gravel gardens
Mediterranean plantings
Xeriscape accents
Indoor bright windows
Mixed succulent bowls
Gifts & table centerpieces

Care Tips

Planting InstructionsUse a pot with drainage or a raised, well-drained bed. Set the crown slightly above soil grade. Space 8–12 in apart. Acclimate to direct sun over 7–10 days.
Soil MoistureWater deeply, then allow 2/3 to all of the mix to dry before watering again. Reduce in summer dormancy and in winter; never let sit in water.
Soil TypeGritty, fast-draining cactus/succulent mix amended with 30–50% pumice, perlite, or coarse sand; pH ~6.0–7.2.
HumidityLow to average household humidity (25–50%). Provide airflow; avoid misting into the rosette to prevent rot.
Pruning InstructionsRemove spent flower stalks and dried lower leaves. Pinch or cut stems to shape and encourage branching; re-root healthy cuttings.
Winter CareProtect from frost; overwinter indoors where freezes occur. Bright light, cool room (50–60°F), and sparing water are ideal.
Planting DepthPlant at the same depth as in the nursery pot; keep the rosette above the soil line. For stem cuttings, callus 2–5 days, then insert 0.5–1 in into dry mix.
FertilizationLight feeder: apply a balanced, low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer at 1/4–1/2 strength monthly during active growth (fall–spring). Do not feed in peak summer dormancy.
Special CareSummer dormancy management: offer afternoon shade and minimal water. Rotate pots for even color, avoid water pooling in rosettes, watch for mealybugs/aphids, and repot every 2–3 years.
