Highlights
Aeonium 'Sunburst': Beautiful large rosette variegated with green, white, and yellow and a pink leaf margin. It grows tall in Mediterranean climates, but it can also grow as a house plant on very sunny sills. 'Sunburst' blooms with cones of tiny, white flowers in summer.
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.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
I have a couple things in mind in regards to black spots on Aeonium and crispy leaves. However, there are many things that could cause black spots to form on Aeonium.
1) Heat. Although you've protected your plant from the direct sun, there has still been some hot days in Palm Springs, if I'm not mistaken. I believe it's been near 95F at some points this month. The heat could be drying it out or it could be triggering the summer dormancy that all Aeoniums experience. They do look fairly shabby in the summer for this reason.
2) Insect pests and their treatment. Has your plant been struggling with pests? Maybe mealybugs or aphids? If so, that could cause black… See full answer »
If you are growing your Aeonium indoors on a sunny windowsill, you can continue normal succulent care through summer.

Water will be your primary issue, as the only zone 11 places in the US are either very dry or very humid. If the issue is dryness then the solution is to simply water more. If you live in a humid area then you'll have to protect your plant from overwatering and excessive rainfall.
Sunlight will be another issue as Aeonium plants are prone to sunburn. You may need to plant these in a somewhat shadier spot in your garden. Just make sure it's not too shady or your plant may stretch. Shade cloth may help tremendously here. It'd be a good idea to read our article on sunburn so you know what to look for if your plant starts losing its vigor.
