 |
Aeonium (Aeonium haworthii 'Dream Color') |
Have Sedums and Succulents |
Is growing well. Needs adjustment for protection from too much rain or too much sun. "That exquisite coloring that is unique to the Kiwi Aeonium is largely dependent on getting sufficient sun. However, these guys are prone to burning more than other succulents might be. Where a Kalanchoe might thrive in direct sunlight all day, the Kiwi only wants direct sunlight for a couple of hours. Use a grow light if you have trouble getting enough light indoors." |
