Aeonium blushing beauty, also known as Aeonium ‘Blushing Beauty’, is a beautiful succulent that can add a touch of elegance to any garden or indoor space. This particular variety of Aeonium is known for its stunning rosettes of deep purple leaves that have a hint of green and a blush of pink. It is a relatively compact succulent, but it can still grow to a decent size if given the proper care and conditions.
On average, Aeonium blushing beauty can reach a height of about 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) and spread to a width of around 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm). However, it’s important to note that these measurements can vary depending on the growing conditions and the age of the plant.
When it comes to providing the right conditions for your Aeonium blushing beauty to thrive and reach its full potential, there are a few key factors to consider. Firstly, this succulent prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but intense sunlight for prolonged periods can cause the leaves to burn or fade.
In terms of temperature, Aeonium blushing beauty is native to regions with mild climates, so it does best in temperatures between 60 to 75°F (15 to 24°C). It can tolerate slightly higher or lower temperatures, but extreme heat or frosty conditions can be detrimental to its growth.
Watering is another important aspect to consider. Aeonium blushing beauty is a drought-tolerant succulent that prefers well-draining soil. It’s important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. During the growing season, which is typically spring and summer, water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. In the dormant season, reduce watering and only water sparingly to prevent the plant from becoming too wet.
Feeding your Aeonium blushing beauty with a balanced succulent fertilizer during the growing season can help promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the appropriate dosage and frequency.
In terms of pot size, Aeonium blushing beauty can be grown in a medium-sized pot as long as it has sufficient drainage holes. If you notice that your plant is becoming too large for its current pot, you can repot it into a slightly larger container using a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
Aeonium blushing beauty is a relatively compact succulent that can reach a height of around 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) and spread to a width of 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm). By providing it with the right conditions of bright, indirect light, mild temperatures, well-draining soil, and appropriate watering and feeding, you can help your Aeonium blushing beauty thrive and reach its full size potential.
