Aeonium 'Pink Witch' is a striking succulent known for its rosettes of vibrant, pink-tinged leaves, adding a touch of color and elegance to any indoor or greenhouse collection. This cultivar is a hybrid of the Aeonium species and thrives in controlled environments, such as homes, offices, and greenhouses.

Description:

  • Aeonium 'Pink Witch' is a small to medium-sized succulent with thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette pattern. The leaves are typically deep green at the center, with pink or reddish margins, becoming more vibrant with exposure to light. It can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall and spreads 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) wide.
  • During the spring or early summer, it may produce small, yellow flowers on tall, slender stems, though it is mostly cultivated for its ornamental foliage.

Indoor and Greenhouse Care:

  • Light: Aeonium 'Pink Witch' requires bright, indirect light for optimal growth. In a greenhouse, ensure the plant receives full to partial sunlight.  Indoors, placing it in a south- or west-facing window is ideal. If grown under artificial lighting, ensure the use of grow lights to supplement natural light, especially during the winter months when daylight is limited.

  • Temperature: This cultivar prefers temperatures ranging from 16°C to 24°C. It can tolerate slightly warmer temperatures but should be kept away from drafts and cold spots, as it is sensitive to temperatures below 10°C. Greenhouse environments offer a more stable temperature range, which helps in achieving optimal growth.

  • Humidity: Aeonium 'Pink Witch' thrives in low to moderate humidity levels, making it ideal for indoor and greenhouse settings. It does not require high humidity and may suffer from rot if exposed to excessive moisture in the air. Maintaining a well-ventilated environment is essential to prevent fungal diseases.

  • Watering: Like many succulents, Aeonium 'Pink Witch' is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, but avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. In winter, the plant's growth slows, and watering should be reduced accordingly. A well-draining soil mix is crucial to prevent water retention.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix, or amend regular potting soil with sand or perlite to ensure proper drainage. This helps prevent root rot and supports the plant's growth in indoor or greenhouse conditions.

  • Fertilization: Feed the plant with a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period (fall and winter).

  • Pests: While generally pest-resistant, Aeonium 'Pink Witch' can occasionally attract aphids, mealybugs, or scale. Regularly check the plant for pests, and treat infestations promptly using insecticidal soap or neem oil.

This cultivar is an excellent choice for indoor gardeners and greenhouse enthusiasts looking to add a touch of color and texture to their collection with minimal maintenance.
