Aeonium ‘Lily Pad’
The Aeonium ‘Lily Pad’ is a lush rosette-forming succulent. Rosettes are formed by overlapping thick green leaves that are almost circular in shape. In other words, each leaf truly does look similar to a lily pad in shape and color.
Each stem produces many branches with rosettes at the tip. Consequently, mature plants are a round mound of rosettes and are about 1’ tall and about 3’ wide. Individual rosettes additionally grow to become 5-6” in diameter.
Aeonium ‘Lily Pad’ does not flourish in high, dry temperatures. For example, excess heat will cause the plant’s leaves to curl up, lose water, and turn a yellow-orange color on the edges. Lily Pad aeoniums therefore prefer bright shade or partial sun.
Plant this aeonium in well draining soil and water a couple times a month, ensuring that the soil dries completely prior to each watering. Aeonium ‘Lily Pad’ makes a lovely addition to a succulent or cacti garden as well as a great houseplant.
However, if planting indoors, ensure that it will receive bright light and that it’s soil will not remain moist for long periods of time. Furthermore, if Aeonium ‘Lily Pad’ is planted in a container, replant it with fresh soil every 2-3 years.
