How to fertilize Crested Halloween Aeonium

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Crested Halloween Aeonium after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

A little birthday gift to myself. Lol. It’s a bit late but never too late. 😉 I’m a #PlantAddict because #BeautifulCristata make me happy. @RJG could you please add “Crested Black Rose Aeonium” to the species list when you have time? Thank you so much.

I'm not super excited about this root system on my Irish Bouquet. None of it is slimy or falling apart, but it's not white & vibrant either. I wonder if it has been underwatered? It's been dropping a few yellow leaves each week, but the stems aren't soft. I'm adding a bit of silica to the water this week, and repotting to TC with Pon.

Baby stem??? New plant mom here! Recently rescued this succulent. What is this baby stem/root? Is it good or bad? #AeoniumHaworthii #SucculentSquad #TreeAeonium

#StruggleBus Help! My #AeoniumKiwi has been on a steady decline since Feb. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Do any of you have a miracle solution? Is it time to #ChopAndProp or just toss? I’m so sad. I was super proud of this guy 😞 #PlantGraveyard #SucculentLove #BeforeAndAfter #

Is my aeonium getting too much sun? I got this beautiful “emerald ice” aeonium a few weeks ago. At the time, it had a main area and a smaller side growth, both relatively flat. Over the last few weeks both have grown upwards. But the smaller shoot has all but died and the larger one has half dead black leaves when I lift the uppermost ones. It’s outdoors and gets about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day, watered every 2 weeks (per the app’s suggestion). Not sure if it’s getting too much sunlight, or if there is some other issue, or if this is normal. Any ideas?

This poor thing needs help I found this Aeonium Kiwi while looking at succulents in Home Depot. It was a surprise, I never thought I would find one there! She was in sad shape, dried out in a tiny pot, leaves broken off. So of course I had to save her! Lol So I got her home, repotted her with succulent soil, and gave her a drink. Now she’s with everyone else in my window. I’ve never had an Aeonium before, does that care sound right? I’m hoping she grows back beautiful 😍

Mealy bugs on Calla Lilly I was wondering how one would get mealy bugs off of a calla lily with so many leaves infected. I also have a Haworth’s Aeonium that has mealy bugs. I used rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip to get them off the Aeonium. However, I still find some here and there. My main concern is the calla lily though. Any advice?

What is the safest way to remove the water spots from my newly resurrected Aeonium? I would usually use Neem oil and distilled water but I'm very nervous I'll harm this beautiful plant! Thanks so much! #TreeAeonium

Sad succulents Help, I have 2 of these in a container with several other succulents. The other succulents are doj g fine, but these 2 are not happy about the move indoors for the winter. I've added grown lights in the last week, and am more carefully monitoring moisture level. Any suggestions? Can I save it 😢

☀️ Sunlight Needs
Crested Halloween Aeonium requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Crested Halloween Aeonium prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.
🪴 Soil
Crested Halloween Aeonium is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Crested Halloween Aeonium grows very slowly and doesn’t require added fertilizer. Replacing your plant’s potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
❄️ Dormancy
It’s common for Crested Halloween Aeonium to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
🌎 Native Region
Crested Halloween Aeonium is native to Macronesia, and East Africa to Yemen.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
