Aeonium

Originating from the rocky terrain of the Canary Islands, the aeonium is accustomed to dry conditions and has evolved to store water in its succulent leaves, demonstrating high drought tolerance. This attribute is reflected in a three-weekly watering, which maintains soil moisture without oversaturating it. Typically grown outdoors due to its preference for full sun exposure, the aeonium thrives in well-drained soils that mimic its native arid environment, ensuring that excess water can escape easily and prevent root rot.
