Care for Aeonium Ab Velours

Aeonium Ab Velours is a charming succulent with rosettes of dark red to purple leaves that resemble velvet. It originates from the Canary Islands and its dramatic coloring will instantly become the focal point of any interior. It is ideal for bright rooms and windowsills.

💧 Watering Water only when the substrate is completely dry – succulents do not tolerate overwatering. In winter, water minimally, once every 4–6 weeks. Caution: Excess water in the saucer can cause root rot.

☀️ Light Requires bright direct or indirect light.

• The ideal placement is on a south or west-facing windowsill.

• In insufficient light, it loses the intensity of its dark leaf coloration.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 15–25 °C.

• Cold: It can tolerate short-term temperatures around 5 °C, but prolonged frost is not good for it.

• Humidity: Prefers dry air – high humidity is not good for it.

🌿 Fertilizing During the growing season (spring–summer), fertilize once every 4–6 weeks with a fertilizer for cacti and succulents. Completely skip fertilizing in winter.

🧻 Substrate and Repotting Use a well-draining substrate for cacti and succulents with added perlite or sand. Repot only when necessary; succulents prefer tighter pots.

⚠️ Warning Aeonium is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
