🌿 Growth Habit:
Aeonium Variegated 'Mardi Gras' grows as a branching succulent with colorful rosettes held atop sturdy stems. It thrives in bright light and can tolerate several hours of direct sun, which helps enhance its vibrant coloration. Plant in a well-draining succulent mix and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Like many Aeoniums, it grows most actively during cooler seasons and may slow growth during periods of intense summer heat.

Plant Care Guide
Light
- Bright indirect light is ideal.
- Can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning sun.
- Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which may scorch variegated leaves.
- Insufficient light can reduce variegation and slow growth.
Watering
- Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
- Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels slightly dry.
- Increase watering during active growth in spring and summer.
- Reduce watering during cooler months.
Humidity
- Prefers moderate to high humidity (60%+).
- Benefits from humidifiers or greenhouse conditions.
- Higher humidity helps prevent browning leaf edges.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 20–30°C (68–86°F).
- Avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
- Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil
- Rich, well-draining tropical plant mix.
- A blend containing coco coir, bark, perlite, and compost works well.
- Soil should retain moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
Fertilizer
- Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer.
- Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

As with all living things, each plant is unique. Natural variation in size, shape, and coloration is to be expected. We do our best to select a plant that closely matches the one shown on our website in the size you've chosen one that's healthy, beautiful, and ready to thrive in your home.
Winter Safe Packaging
We carefully monitor the destination weather for every order to ensure your plants arrive safely. When needed, 85-hour heat packs and additional cold-weather packaging may be included during the winter months when needed.
Seasonal Care Tips
Winter— Canadian winters mean shorter daylight and dry indoor air from heating. If natural light is limited from November through February, a full-spectrum grow light on a 12-hour timer helps maintain healthy growth and prevents etiolation (stretching toward light). Water sparingly once soil begins to dry, keep away from heating vents and cold glass, and use a humidifier or pebble tray to maintain humidity. Keep plants comfortably above 15°C.
