Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ Variegated Succulent, 6-Inch Pot
Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ features broad rosettes of green and creamy variegated leaves edged in pink. Its striped foliage makes a colorful focal point in a bright container display. Pink intensity and the balance of green and cream vary naturally with season, light, and growing conditions.
Points of interest
- Green and cream striping with contrasting pink leaf margins.
- Broad, spoon-shaped leaves arranged in an open rosette.
- Aeonium growth is often strongest in cooler seasons and may slow or pause during summer heat.
- Branching and additional rosettes can develop over time; fullness varies by plant.
Current and mature size
You receive one rooted plant in a 6-inch plastic nursery pot. Photos show representative plants; rosette size, height, color, and fullness vary. Over time, it may form a branching shrub approaching approximately 3 feet tall in favorable conditions, though container-grown plants can remain smaller and growth rate is not guaranteed.
Decorative pots and accessories shown in styled photos are not included and are sold separately.
Care guide
- Light: Provide bright light with suitable gentle direct sun. Introduce stronger sunlight gradually after shipping. Protect the variegated leaves from harsh afternoon sun during extreme heat. Indoors, choose your brightest suitable window and watch for stretched growth.
- Water: Let the mix dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain completely. During hot-weather dormancy or markedly slowed growth, reduce watering rather than automatically watering more because it is summer. Avoid prolonged saturation and never leave the pot standing in water.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent mix and a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Succulent & Cactus Soil Blend, sold separately. Avoid heavy soil and enclosed humid terrariums.
- Feeding: During active spring growth, feed lightly with a slow-release fertilizer. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents for steady nutrition for cacti and succulents. Fertilizer is sold separately; follow its label and avoid overfeeding. Skip feeding while growth is paused, especially during hot summer dormancy, or during extreme heat or cold.
- Temperature and outdoor placement: Protect from frost and sudden extremes. Outdoor suitability depends on local conditions; shelter from prolonged wet weather and provide airflow. Do not assume a specific hardiness zone from the source listing alone.
- Maintenance: Remove fully dried lower leaves gently. Some leaf shedding and tighter rosettes can accompany seasonal rest. Repot when roots outgrow the container, using fresh, fast-draining mix. Avoid excessive watering in response to normal seasonal slowdown.
Pet safety: Aeonium is generally considered non-toxic to pets.
