Question
hi friend,
could you please tell me how to take care of aeonium [native to canary island] that i have planted in my rock garden?
thanks.

Answer
Hello and thank you for your question. I had to check my books for this one! This is a frost tender species, although I'm not sure you'll have much problem with the cold. Use a standard compost as a growing medium     (The soil in your area should suit this well), and fertilise around three times in the growing season, spring to autumn. Make sure that the soil is well drained and the plant is situated in partial shade. I hope this is of some help, please ask again if you need any further help.
