Aeonium Suncup *Ultra Rare*

Aeonium Suncup Plant Description

Aeonium "Suncup" is part of the Crassulaceae family of about 35 species. The suncup is a small succulent that easily offsets multiple pups, which form large clusters of rosettes. Each rosette is different in variegation and if grown in full sun will develop a pink hue on the margins of their leaves. This succulent will grow bigger rosettes if planted in part shade but will also do well in full sun. Aeoniums go through a dormant period during the Summer season, but if you plant or place this succulent in dappled or part shade, it will keep growing all year round. If this succulent is planted or placed in full sun, their leaves will curl into their centers and stop growing for the season. Once the fall arrives the leaves stretch out and will start to grow again. Great to plant to add height to succulent arrangements or will look beautiful if planted all on its own. It is important to know that Aeonium varieties are monocarpic. Meaning that when the plant blooms it will die, but will off set baby plant that will live on.
