Aeonium Simsii is a rare succulent variety with relatively low leaf rosettes of 8 inches tall. The shiny green leaves have strap-shaped tips. There are many dark-green short lines running in a longitudinal direction to the lower surface of the leaf and a vile-brown line sometimes appears in the upper surface.
Succulent Care
-———————
Place the plant in a pot with drainage holes (no deep saucer) or ground with porous soil, such as succulent soil mix.
Soil: Soil is the most important starting step for successfully growing succulents. Investing a little money on the soil will pay off. Your big purchase of succulents won’t be wasted.
Here is my personal succulent soil mix formula. For smaller succulents and stem propagation, I mix 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 coconut coir and 1/3 perlite. For years old matured succulents, I replace the coconut coir with lava rocks.

Water: Water thoroughly when the root-soil is dry during spring and fall. (I use a skewer stick to check). Water less during summer and cold winter.
Rule to remember: Succulents do not like to be overwatered. Roots cannot sit in water. Especially during their dormant seasons.
Sunlight: Succulents show their best color with plenty (6+ hours) of sunlight. Provide 50%-70% indirect sunlight when the temperature is higher than 85F.
Protect from frost and snow. Move them indoors if it’s freezing at night.
Most succulents thrive in heat and drought when established. Easy care instructions come with orders.
