Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ forms refined, glossy rosettes edged and blushed in pink—coloring that intensifies in bright, cool conditions. Branching stems hold symmetrical rosettes that feel both sculptural and soft, delivering year‑round structure in containers, rock gardens, and modern landscapes. As with many Aeoniums, rosettes are winter‑to‑spring growers and often slow or rest in summer heat. Tall, conical clusters of starry flowers may appear after several seasons; blooming rosettes are monocarpic (they bloom once, then fade) while offsets carry on the display.

• Botanical NameSucculent- Aeonium Pink Witch- Rare (cultivar of Aeonium, winter‑active)
• Common NameSucculent- Aeonium; often sold as Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’
• Size & Growth 12–24 in tall and wide; rosettes 4–8 in across on branching stems; compact, architectural habit
• Hardiness ZonesUSDA 9–11 outdoors; grow as a bright‑light houseplant in colder zones; protect from frost
• Foliage TypeEvergreen succulent rosettes; glossy leaves with pink margins that intensify in cool, bright light
• Bloom TimeLate winter to spring; tall clusters of starry flowers; blooming rosette is monocarpic (offsets continue)
• Growth RateModerate—most active in cool seasons; slows or rests in hot summer conditions
• Light RequirementsBright light to full sun; provide afternoon shade in hot climates; 4–6+ hours for best color
• Attracts PollinatorsYes—flower clusters attract bees and other beneficial pollinators
• Indoor FriendlyYes—thrives in bright windows or under grow lights; avoid prolonged low light
• Container FriendlyExcellent for pots, troughs, and decorative bowls with sharp drainage
• Deer ResistantGenerally deer‑resistant; low palatability, though hungry wildlife may sample new growth
• Pet WarningGenerally considered non‑toxic, but ingestion can cause mild stomach upset—discourage chewing
• FragrantNo—foliage and flowers are not notably fragrant
• Cut FlowerUncommon as cut flowers; rosette cuttings are popular in succulent arrangements and will root
• Grows Well WithGrows Well With Echeveria, Sedum, Crassula, Graptopetalum, Curio (Senecio) serpens, Portulacaria afra, compact Agave

Note: Color intensity varies with light and temperature; cooler, brighter conditions yield the strongest pink tones.

• Planting InstructionsUse a pot with drainage and a cactus/succulent mix. Plant at the same depth as in its nursery pot; keep the rosette above the soil. Acclimate gradually to stronger sun over 7–10 days.
• Soil MoistureWater thoroughly, then allow the top 2/3 of the mix to dry. Water a bit more in cool season growth; give minimal water during summer rest. Never leave sitting in water.
• Soil TypeFast‑draining, gritty mix: 50–70% mineral (pumice/perlite/grit) with 30–50% well‑aerated organic matter; pH 6.0–7.5 works well.
• HumidityPrefers low to moderate humidity. Ensure airflow; avoid cold, damp conditions that prolong leaf wetness.
• Pruning InstructionsRemove spent flower stalks and dry lower leaves. Tip‑prune leggy stems in spring to encourage branching. Let cuttings callus 2–3 days before replanting.
• Winter CareProtect from frost (below ~35–40°F/1–4°C). In cold zones, overwinter indoors with brightest light and water lightly; avoid cold, wet soil.
• Planting DepthSet the root ball level with the mix; keep the crown/rosette above the substrate. Top‑dress with fine gravel to keep foliage dry.
• FertilizationLight feeder. Apply a balanced cactus fertilizer at 1/4–1/2 strength monthly during active growth; withhold during summer dormancy.
• Special CareRotate monthly for even color. Provide afternoon shade in heat waves (>85–90°F). Note monocarpic rosettes. Watch for mealybugs; treat with isopropyl alcohol or insecticidal soap.

Tip: Aeoniums are winter‑active. Expect slow growth and lower water needs in summer; resume regular watering when cool‑season growth restarts.
