I am a novice and new owner of my first very large (and I am told rare) aeonium umbrellata(at least that is what was on the label). I have trawled the internet and cannot find any direct name for this only variations of both. The bottom leaves are all going yellow which to me means that it is too wet, however the soil feels bone dry and the plant has not been watered for ten days. Any suggestions?
I've grown Aeonium arboreum and Swarzkop. They are kept in a cold greenhouse with the compost slightly damp. Over winter they do lose some of the dark colouring but blacken up once I put them out again.They are very easy to propagate,cut off a stem and leave it to dry for a couple of day and then pot up, I usually do this when the weather starts to warm up.

Hi, It will need dry frostfree conditions - a cool well-lit conservatory or greenhouse

Hi Michael, I'd start a new thread for this, it will attract more responses. Can't help you with the aeonium sorry. I only know about hardy plants

As dove says, dry and frost free,with a bit of Sun to keep the colour strong.
