Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Description
Aeonium haworthii (Haworth's aeonium, pinwheel) is a species of succulent plant in the genus Aeonium of the family Crassulaceae. It is native to the Canary Islands, but it has been introduced to other areas of similar climate, such as Southern California. It is a sand-dwelling beach plant, a subshrub with rough, woody stems and rosettes of thick, red-edged green leaves which are triangular or diamond- or spade-shaped.
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Blooming
Blooms abundant star-shaped flowers, borne from the center of the leaf rosettes.
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Growth
Grows best with partial shade, or filtered light. Megaloniums grow actively in winter, particulary in warm regions. In areas where temperatures fall under 50ºF (10ºC), raise plants indoors as houseplants, or in a cool or temperate greenhouse. In warmer regions, Aeonium works great in a border.
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Planting
In spring, sow seeds at 66-75ºF (19-24ºC). Can also propagate from rosette cuttings. Take cuttings in early summer, but wait until the calluses have formed before inserting into soil (sandy cactus cutting mix is preferred).
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Pest
Prone to aphids, particularly while flowering. Mealybugs cause problems in fall and winter. Fungal rots and spots tend to occur during propagation.
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Interesting facts
There are around 30 known species in the genus Aeonium, native to hillsides in Madeira, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands, N. Africa, and the Mediterranean.
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii) - Soil and irrigation
Does best in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Standard cactus potting mixes work fine for indoor plants. Water freely during the growing season. The soil mix should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings. Keep dry during dormancy.
