Aeonium Canariense is far less common in cultivation, but still can be found in some specialty nurseries. It has thick fuzzy leaves with very short stem. Leaves are light green but fade to nice pinkish red near the ends on the older outer leaves.
Aeonium succulents are perfect for your garden or indoor with an elegant Rose ball tree shape, up to 2 feet tall. They are super easy to multiply from branch cuttings and can grow big if given enough space. Aeonium is good at purifying air. Summer is the dormant season for Aeonium, the rosette wraps around under plenty sunshine. Please water slightly to just keep the soil kind of moist, leaves will expand and look much larger in fall.
These sturdy plants thrive in heat and drought when established. Easy care instructions come with cuttings. Plant in part shade in well-drained soil. Simply place in a pot or ground with well drained soil; it will root on its own in couple weeks.
Domestic shipping excludes Hawaii and Alaska. CA customers get unbeatable low price.

Succulent Care
-———————
Place the plant in a pot with drainage holes (no deep saucer) or ground with porous soil, such as succulent soil mix.
Soil: Soil is the most important starting step for successfully growing succulents. Investing a little money on the soil will pay off. Your big purchase of succulents won't be wasted.
Here is my personal succulent soil mix formula. For smaller succulents and stem propagation, I mix 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 coconut coir and 1/3 perlite. For years old matured succulents, I replace the coconut coir with lava rocks.

Water: Water thoroughly when the root-soil is dry during spring and fall. (I use a skewer stick to check). Water less during summer and cold winter.
Rule to remember: Succulents do not like to be overwatered. Roots cannot sit in water. Especially during their dormant seasons.
Sunlight: Succulents show their best color with plenty (6+ hours) of sunlight. Provide 50%-70% indirect sunlight when the temperature is higher than 85F.
Protect from frost and snow. Move them indoors if it’s freezing at night.
Most succulents thrive in heat and drought when established. Easy care instructions come with orders.
