Q: Why are the pink edges on my Kiwi Aeonium fading?
A: The vibrant pink or red margins are triggered by sunlight . If the plant is not receiving enough direct sun (a few hours of gentle sun is ideal), the leaves may remain mostly green and yellow. Move it to a brighter location, but protect it from intense, hot afternoon sun which can cause sunburn .

Q: How often should I water my Kiwi Aeonium?
A: Unlike many succulents, Aeoniums have a winter growing season and may go partially dormant in summer . Water more regularly (allowing the top inch of soil to dry out) during its active growth in fall, winter, and spring . In summer, reduce watering significantly, only providing enough to prevent excessive shriveling . Ensure the soil drains well to prevent root rot .

Q: My plant is getting tall and leggy with spaced-out leaves. What's wrong?
A: This is called etiolation and is caused by insufficient light . The plant stretches towards the light source. Move it to a spot with brighter, indirect light to prevent further stretching. Unfortunately, the stretched stem will not shrink back, but you can propagate the rosette by taking a stem cutting to start a new, compact plant .

Q: Will my Kiwi Aeonium die after it flowers?
A: Aeoniums are monocarpic, meaning the individual rosette that produces the flower will die after blooming . However, the rest of the plant, including other rosettes and new "pups," will continue to grow, so the plant as a whole survives. You can simply remove the dead rosette.
