Watering Needs 

Overwatering should be avoided at all costs as the purple rose is highly vulnerable to root rot if kept in constantly damp soil. It's important to allow the soil to fully dry out between each watering, and if you're unsure whether or not it's time for another drink, err on the side of caution and give it some extra time. 

Although desert succulents like Aeonium atropurpureum are able to survive months without water. As such, it is able to store water in its leaves and stems. When the soil is dry to the touch, it is an indication that the plant needs water. So, pay close attention to this purple beauty watering needs; you'll be able to keep your purple rose tree healthy and happy for years to come! 

In the summer months, aeoniums can go dormant and don't need water unless the weather is extremely dry. During the winter growing period, water the purple rose moderately every two to three weeks.   

Light Requirements 

The Purple rose requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or part shade. New plants can get burned in full direct sunlight as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight so that it doesn't get burned by the intense rays. 

When grown in full sun, the foliage of Aeonium atropurpureum turns almost black - talk about adding incredible interest to your outdoor space! On the other hand, if you grow it in partial shade, the leaf rosette takes on a reddish-purple hue with a green center. 

You can even grow purple aeonium indoors! Just make sure to place them near southern and western windows for optimal sunlight exposure. Don't leave them languishing in dim light, though - move them outdoors from time to time for 4 - 6 hours at least when natural light is scarce (like during winter).  Remember, Purple rose tree aeoniums will not go dormant if they are kept indoors or in a shaded area. They can still grow well in these conditions, but they may grow more slowly than they would outdoors. 

With proper care and attention paid to their light requirements, purple roses are sure to be statement pieces wherever they grow! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Purple roses like very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5.6 - 6.5, Succulents require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil.  Soggy wet soil can damage your tree aeonium and contributes to bacterial and fungal rot. In addition, because of a lack of oxygen, soggy soil substitutes air pockets with water, resulting in an anaerobic environment that can kill your healthy plants. 

 As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, peat moss, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized potting mix that contains organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum to thrive.  

Ideally, you should look for a natural fertilizer with an approximate blend of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. The best choice is to use a natural fertilizer as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. 

Hardiness Zones & more 

The purple aeonium can't stand frost or too much humidity, therefore it needs warm, dry conditions. A well-draining potting mix and drainage holes in the potting container will help you maintain temperatures and prevent too much moisture. They can therefore be cultivated year-round outside in USDA zones 9 through 11. 

The ideal temperature for the purple rose tree is 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit, it can survive moderate winter temperatures as long as the soil is not wet and the temperature does not drop below 35 degrees F. 

Frost can be damaging to the purple rose, causing the leaves to become soft and mushy. If the plant is exposed to frost for an extended period of time, it may die. It is important to protect the plant from frost by bringing it indoors or covering it with a frost blanket when temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. 

Give this Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum - purple rose succulent - a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Delicious flavors and reliable sun protection
Scent: Coconut, Banana, Watermelon, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These Sun Bum SPF 30 lip balms are perfect for anyone looking to protect their lips from the sun while keeping them smooth and moisturized. I appreciate that each tube in this variety pack provides broad spectrum SPF 30 protection with soothing aloe and vitamin E, which nourish my lips instead of just sitting on the surface. The coconut, banana, and watermelon flavors are deliciously tropical without being overly sweet, and the balm glides on easily without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. I also love that the formula is reef-friendly and free from harsh chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, so I can use it confidently at the beach or on the slopes. Overall, this set has become my go-to for daily lip care and sun protection, and I would gladly reorder it or give it as a thoughtful gift to friends and family.

Scent: Coconut, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been using this lip balm for a while now, and I'm very happy with it. It keeps my lips moisturized without feeling greasy or sticky. The coconut scent is pleasant and not overpowering, and the SPF 30 protection is a great bonus when spending time outdoors. The balm goes on smoothly, lasts a long time, and helps prevent my lips from drying out in the sun. I also like that it contains aloe vera and vitamin E. Overall, it's a great lip balm, and I would definitely purchase it again.

Worked like it was supposed to!
Scent: Coconut, Banana, Watermelon, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Each flavor has a great smell and flavor, goes on smooth and makes my lips soft! I trust this brand to have the SPF ro protect my lips. I bought this to use while in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 for 10 days and didnt get burnt. I gave it a 4 star rating because it gives me a funny aftertaste in my mouth. My husband didn't experience this so maybe its just me. Regardless, it did what it was supposed to do!
