How to fertilize Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

I missed #FreshLeafFriday but I’m so excited that some of my new babies seem to be doing well and putting out some new growth 🌱 My Pink Princess Isabela (pic 1) is unfurling a new leaf now that seems to be pretty variegated, and her sister Mirabel seems to be recovering from some shipping damage and putting out a new little growth too 😍 I also noticed new growth on my 2 black bat plants, Nosferatu and Dracula (pic 2) and hoping I’ll be able to continue to help them grow and thrive 🤞🏼🦇 If anyone has any experience with these, all tips are welcome! New leaf unfurling on one of my golden pothos (pic 3) and 2 new shoots coming up fast on my Raven ZZ Elvira (pic 4) 🖤 My black rose aeoniums Morticia and Wednesday (pic 5) are perking up after looking a little wilted from shipping, hoping they’ll keep it up too! I’m a horror movie nerd and love my black plants, I have some black petunias coming today too 🤓😂 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PinkPrincessPhilodendron #BlackBatFlower #BlackRose #AeoniumTree #RavenZzPlant #PothosPack #GregGang

Hi-my plants is getting all stretched out. I assume it needs more sunlight. It's in a plastic pot. Should I repot it now and move outside or is it too cold at night for it? #TreeAeonium

Wondering her state #BlackRose hello everyone! 🩶🌱 I received this beauty in Finland after a 24 days trip from the Canary Island, showered her and soaked her roots in water with musk for 24 hours. Now potted here on a 3:1 perlite and cactus soil mix on an absorbent cement pot with a drainage hole. Watered it just a bit after 2 days resting in the new mix, now wondering if you have any advice on how long should her be in the shadow, if you think she’ll survive and looking ok in this spot or should I take it out?, the weather is super nice here these days, but whatever and any other advise you guys may share with me I’d appreciate!

Not looking great! #TreeAeonium My girl is looking spindly and has these black spots on some of her leaves. Is her pot too small? Should I repot and bury her deeper? I’ve done nothing different except she started this about 2-3 months ago. Not sure if it’s the dryness in the house? TIA! #SucculentSquad

When is it that we stop watering?

Is there anything I can try to do to save this? #TreeAeonium leaves have been dropping for months and there is white build up on all the tips. I’ve tried putting it directly in a southern facing window and that made no difference. I water whenever Greg tells me to. I’m totally clueless so please be nice!

Are these runners? This tentatively-identified Aeonium diplocyclum has been in flower since last July. The plant is monocarpic and has really been making a show of it! If correctly identified, this plant rarely pups. And, indeed, it never pupped from the base. However, some of these rosettes really don’t look like flowers. Could it have runners among its blooms? It can’t hurt to put some in soil, so I’ll give it a shot. #Aeonium #monocarpic #DeathBloom #runners #PropagationStation #Propagation
