Aeonium "Evening Glow" variegated - Origin: Don Suculentas

The Aeonium "Evening Glow" variegated is a mutation of A. "Mardi Grass", belonging to the group of variegated aeonium collections most valued for the depth of their chromatic contrasts.

During the winter, when the light is dimmer, it presents foliage with a central green band and yellow-cream side bands, typical of the variegations of this lineage.

With the increase in brightness, the leaves develop an intense red coloration on the edges and almost black dark tones in the center, creating a spectacular contrast that evokes the visual effect of “lit clouds,” the origin of its name.

This Aeonium "Evening Glow" variegated shows normal growth and, although its cultivation is still recent, no special fragility has been observed.Its main appeal lies in the depth and intensity of its red and black tones, making it an exceptional collectible piece among the variegated. It stands out especially in bright displays. Imported plant from China reproduced in our greenhouse.

Known names: ‘Burning Cloud’, ‘Huoshaoyun’, ‘Fire Cloud’

Growth cycle of the Aeonium "Evening Glow" variegated

One of the most important characteristics of variegated aeoniums is their growth cycle, which is opposite to that of many other succulents.

• Active stage: autumn, winter, and spring
• Rest period: summer

During the summer rest, the plant naturally reduces its activity. Forcing watering or growth during this phase can cause root problems.

Watering

Watering should always be adapted to the time of year and the actual condition of the plant.

• In active growth: moderate watering every 2–3 weeks, only when the substrate is completely dry
• In summer rest: do not water the substrate; only light misting on specific days

Excess water is one of the main risks in the cultivation of variegated aeonium.

Light and location

These plants need good lighting to maintain a balanced structure, but they do not tolerate prolonged intense sun well.

• Bright light and well-ventilated
• Avoid strong direct sunlight between May and October
• Special care between 12:00 and 16:00

The gentle morning sun or late afternoon sun is the most suitable.

Substrate

A very draining substrate is essential for the proper development of variegated aeoniums.

• Avoid moisture accumulation
• Encourage a healthy root system
• Reduce the risk of rot

Drainage is always more important than water retention.

Temperature

• Optimal temperature: between 10 °C and 30 °C
• Protect against frost
• Avoid watering at temperatures below 10 °C

In conditions of prolonged intense heat, the plant naturally goes into dormancy.
