  •   Aeonium Venus is a rare variegated succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the Canary Islands, Madeira, and parts of the Mediterranean. It evolved on dry, rocky hillsides where intense sun and sharp drainage are the norm, traits that shape how it grows indoors and out. It is a variegated aeonium for anyone building a succulent collection or starting their first houseplant.

      The plant forms tight rosettes of layered leaves in shades of green with creamy or contrasting margins that shift slightly with light exposure. It grows upright in a clustering habit, producing multiple rosettes on sturdy stems that stack vertically rather than sprawling. Each rosette has a sculptural, almost architectural structure that makes it stand out on a shelf or windowsill without needing much else around it.

      Aeonium 'Venus' is a cool-season grower and produces star-shaped yellow flower clusters in late winter through spring when conditions align. It earns space year-round through its geometric rosette form and layered variegated foliage. The plant goes semi-dormant in summer, slowing its growth during the hottest months.

      Place Aeonium 'Venus' on a sunny windowsill, patio container, or Mediterranean-style garden bed where it can access consistent bright light. It is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it safe for households with pets. The plant is sensitive to frequent moving and drops leaves while adjusting to a new location, so choosing a stable spot matters. Propagate it from stem cuttings or detach rosette offsets at the base to start new plants.

  •   Aeonium Venus grows well in bright indirect light to partial sun, tolerating full sun in mild climates with afternoon shade in hot regions.

      Water it deeply every 10-14 days during its cool-season growth, letting the soil dry completely between waterings and reducing frequency in summer dormancy.

      Aeonium 'Venus' does best in fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with extra perlite for excellent root health and drainage.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F and should be protected from frost below 25°F.

      Aeonium 'Venus' is a moderate grower that benefits from a light, balanced succulent fertilizer once monthly during its active cool-season growth period.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F but preferring frost-free conditions year-round. It grows outdoors in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. It also grows outdoors along the mild coastal climates of Oregon and Washington.
  • Q: How often should I water Aeonium Venus?
    A: During the cool season, water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 10-14 days. Summer dormancy calls for much less frequent watering, sometimes just once every few weeks depending on heat and humidity.

    Q: Is it pet safe?
    A: Aeonium Venus is non-toxic to cats and dogs and safe in homes with curious pets.

    Q: What window direction works best for Aeonium 'Venus' indoors?
    A: An east or west window provides ideal bright indirect light. South-facing windows can scorch the leaves in intense afternoon rays, so move it back from the glass or filter the light.

    Q: Can I move it outside for summer?
    A: You can move Aeonium 'Venus' outdoors to a bright, sheltered spot, but it will drop a few leaves while adjusting to the shift. Keep it away from heavy rain and indoor vents when moving between locations.

    Q: How do I propagate Aeonium 'Venus'?
    A: Remove a healthy stem cutting, let it callous for a day or two, then place it in well-draining succulent soil. Rosette offsets that form at the base can also be separated and potted independently.

    Q: Is it difficult to find and grow?
    A: Aeonium 'Venus' is a rare variegated cultivar that requires only basic watering, light, and soil practices once established in your collection.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
