Aeonium arboreum 'Atropurpureum'

Highlights

Aeonium arboreum 'Atropurpureum' (Boom): A lime green, maroon and purple succulent that shifts colors dramatically throughout the year. Growing to nearly three feet tall, this plant makes for an excellent centerpiece plant in warmer climates. Giving this plant plenty of light will bring out its most vibrant colors.

PLEASE NOTE: Leaves may curl or become bruised during shipping. They will recover with proper light and water and by growing and shedding old leaves. See photo examples:

 

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
