Care Guide
Light Requirements
Aeonium 'Kiwi' thrives in bright, indirect light or full sun. Indoors, place it near a sunny window to maintain vibrant colors. Outdoors, it performs best in partial sun.
Watering Needs
Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
Soil Preferences
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent water retention. Adding perlite or sand to regular potting soil also works well to improve drainage.
Temperature and Humidity
This succulent prefers temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) and low humidity. Protect it from frost, as it is not cold-hardy.
Fertilization
Feed the plant with a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
Propagation Methods
Offsets (Pups)
- Carefully remove small offsets that form at the base of the plant.
- Allow the cut end to callous over for a day or two.
- Plant the offset in well-draining soil and water lightly.
Leaf Cuttings
Individual leaves can also be propagated by placing them on moist soil. However, this method is slower than using offsets.
Common Issues
Overwatering
Overwatering is the most common issue, leading to root rot. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings.
Sunburn
While it loves bright light, too much direct sunlight can cause sunburn on the leaves. Provide partial shade if grown outdoors in hot climates.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?
When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!
MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.
Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.
No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
