Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your aeonium bronze medal live plant is straightforward, ensuring it remains a vibrant and healthy addition to your space. These succulents thrive with proper light, water, and soil conditions. They prefer a lot of light; for optimal growth and color development, provide full to partial sun exposure. If grown indoors, a south-facing window or a bright, well-lit spot is ideal. Ensure it receives several hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its rich bronze and burgundy hues.

When it comes to watering, the soak and dry method is best. Thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent issues, so err on the side of underwatering. For soil, use a porous, well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. Potting in a container with a drainage hole is highly recommended to allow excess water to escape. This crassulaceae family succulent prefers warmer temperatures, ideally between 60°-75°F (15.6-23.9℃), and moderate humidity levels around 40-60%.
