Aeonium 'kiwi'

$7.99
Title

Brighten your collection with the kaleidoscopic charm of the Aeonium ‘Sunburst’ (often called ‘Sunburst’ or ‘Kiwi’ depending on the specific variegation). This exuberant succulent features luminous, spoon-shaped leaves arranged in a perfect pinwheel rosette. The foliage is a stunning tricolor blend of creamy pale yellow and soft lime green, framed by delicate toothy margins that blush a brilliant coppery-pink when kissed by the sun. As it matures, it grows into a whimsical, multi-branched shrub, with each "flower-like" head perched atop a sturdy, architectural stem, creating a vibrant, sunset-hued canopy that brings a tropical, high-energy feel to any space.

Common Pests

Aphids

Aphids

What To Look For: Small soft-bodied insects (green, yellow, black or orange) usually congregating on new growth, stems or leaf undersides. Sticky residue (“honeydew”) on leaves or nearby surfaces, sometimes with sooty mold developing on it. Distorted or curling leaves, wilting, slow growth.

How To Treat: Isolate the infested plant to prevent spread. Blast with water to dislodge many adults, especially on newer growth. Use insecticidal soap, making sure to cover the leaf underside and new growth. Repeat treatments every 7 days or so until no new signs appear. (Since they reproduce quickly)

Mealybugs

Mealybugs

What To Look For: White, cottony or waxy masses on stems, leaf axils, underside of leaves. Sticky honeydew, sooty mold growth, yellowing or dropping leaves.

How To Treat: Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to dab and remove visible bugs. Wash leaves and stems with gentle soapy water. In heavy infestations, consider removing very affected stems/leaves or, in the worst case, replacing the plant.
