Highlights
Aichryson tortuosum (Webb & Berthelot): A rare species from the Canary Islands, not often found in cultivation. Closely related to the larger Aeonium, this small rosette branches to form a subshrub under 6.0" tall. The round, green leaves are particularly chunky and have a downy coating that makes them feel almost sticky. Moderate stress from direct sun and drought can induce a rosy blush. A. tortuosum produces lots of sunny yellow flowers.
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 ample sunlight, good 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.
