Hi Y'All
I bouht a beautiful and expensive Aeonium at the Eden Project about a month ago, during the hetwave. Since then it has set on my patio quite happily but when we started to have torrential rain here in Cornwall I brought it into the conservatory figuring:
1. Aeoniums come from places like the Canaries, where it is hot and dry
2. It is a succulent and would therefore have lots of water already stored in its lovely dark red 'leaves'
It is still in the conservatory, in a slightly sheltered out of direct sun position, with lots of light. The bottom leaves are becoming shrivelled and have fallen off. I am worried bout my new baby!!!!
Help, what am I doing wrong?
I know the answer is out there!
Regards, Caro
