The Aeonium 'Mardi Gras' is a succulent prized for its colorful foliage and graphic rosettes. Its variegated leaves feature a mix of green, creamy yellow and pink to red, with colors that intensify when the plant receives plenty of light and cooler nights. Its branching growth allows it to form, over time, a clump of decorative rosettes. Like many aeoniums, it generally experiences a period of active growth during the cooler seasons and may go dormant during periods of intense heat.
💡Quick tip
To preserve the magnificent colors of the Aeonium 'Mardi Gras', provide plenty of light and avoid overwatering. Do not worry if some leaves curl up or fall during the summer: this can be a normal sign of dormancy, as long as the stem remains firm and healthy.
