Aeonium halloween var. white colour (4 inch)

About Aeonium 'Halloween' var. White Colour

Aeonium 'Halloween' var. White Colour is a rare variegated cultivar renowned for its dramatic seasonal color shifts and architectural form. This arboreal succulent develops sculptural rosettes (5-7 inch diameter) with spatulate leaves exhibiting creamy ivory centers and vibrant green margins. Under cool temperatures and bright light, the foliage intensifies to rose-pink edges with burgundy undertones, creating a striking tricolor effect. Mature specimens produce pyramidal yellow flower clusters in late winter. Its upright growth habit and chromatic dynamism make it a prized specimen for Mediterranean-style gardens and statement containers.

How to Care for Aeonium 'Halloween' var. White Colour

Light: Requires 4-5 hours of direct morning sun with bright filtered afternoon light. Protect from intense midday sun (USDA zones 9-11) to prevent variegation bleaching. East-facing exposures optimize color contrast.

Water: Water when top 1.5 inches of soil are dry (typically 10-12 days in growth season). Suspend watering during summer dormancy. Reduce to monthly in winter active phase.

Temperature: Prefers 50-75°F (10-24°C). Tolerates brief frost to 30°F (-1°C) when dry. Prolonged heat above 85°F (29°C) triggers dormancy - cease watering entirely.

Soil & Potting: Plant in 70% mineral grit (scoria/pumice) mixed with 30% coconut coir. Select deep pots (8+ inches) to accommodate taproots. Dark containers enhance heat retention during growth season.

Fertilizer: Apply phosphorus-rich fertilizer (3-8-5 NPK) at 20% strength monthly during active growth (October-April). Avoid nitrogen-heavy formulas to preserve variegation.

Pests & Disease: Susceptible to mealybugs in leaf axils. Treat with systemic imidacloprid. Root weevil larvae are primary threat - apply beneficial nematodes preventatively.

Propagation: Aeonium 'Halloween' var. White Colour propagates most effectively via stem cuttings with 60% success. Take 3-inch apical cuttings during active growth (spring), cure for 72 hours, plant in dry scoria mix. Delay watering for 10 days. Maintain 60-65°F (15-18°C) under 40% shade cloth. Roots establish in 5-6 weeks, but variegation stability requires 12-18 months maturation.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
