Aeonium 'Jack Catlin' [large] [fragile]

Aeonium 'Jack Catlin' (Lyons): A vigorous cultivar with great red pigments and a nice form. It grows a large rosette up to 8.0" wide of slightly cupped leaves. It shows rich, red tones, sometimes with a contrasting green center. This hybrid is a cross of A. tabuliforme x A. arboreum 'Zwartkop'. It's reported to have better heat and frost tolerance than other Aeonium. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

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. Aeonium like less frequent watering during their summer dormancy period.

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