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
Aeonium 'Lily Pad' 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
Aeonium 'Lily Pad' 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
Aeonium 'Lily Pad' 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 Aeonium 'Lily Pad' 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
Aeonium 'Lily Pad' is native to Macronesia, and East Africa to Yemen.
Flowers
Aeonium 'Lily Pad' produces flowers in the wild, but does not flower when kept as houseplants.

What other plant parents say





This is my first plant, like ever. It was recommended by the guy at the nursery. I recommend doing your own research before getting a little gal like this. Lily is definitely cute, but can be hard to take care of. She needs up to 6 hours of sunlight, only water every 5 days, and she can easily brown or die if left in the sun for so long.
