The flowers are yellow. Aeonium balsamiferum is very rare and almost extinct in its native. Aeoniums are one of the most ornamental of all the succulents. Even those that don't appreciate succulents seem to like these plants. Perhaps it is the fact they look like large, colorful, rubbery flowers that these popular plants have such an appeal.
Light: Requires a bright location with a lot of direct sunlight all year round. If the light conditions are not sufficient, the leaves grow deformed and elongated and die. A sunny and warm location on a south window is best.
Water: Water moderately, the roots of the succulents must only be kept slightly moist.
Humidity: Not too hot, not too cold, and not too dry.
Temperature: Temperatures between 18°C and 23°C. During the winter period, these succulents prefer temperatures around 12°C and as much direct sunlight as possible. Temperatures below 10°C are not tolerated.
Fertilizer: Fertilize with a weak solution of succulent fertilizer every four weeks during the growth phase. Do not fertilize during the rest period.
Soil: Substrate mixture of nutrient-poor soil and mineral components. A substrate for succulents should be well permeable to water so that no water can accumulate after watering. This can be achieved by mixing 60% succulent soil (also called cactus soil) and 40% mineral components, such as gravel or perlite, lava rocks and some quartz sand.
Toxicity: Non-toxic
