Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Aeonium Kiwi's colors fading?

Its striking green, yellow, and pink-red striped foliage intensifies in bright light, so fading or paler colors usually mean the plant needs more direct light exposure.

Why is Aeonium Kiwi such a slow grower?

It's simply the nature of this compact, variegated cultivar — it grows slowly by design, which is part of why it stays so decorative and manageable in containers and rock gardens.
