Aeonium Cornish Pixie

Aeonium Cornish Pixie is a cultivar of the genus Aeonium. It is a succulent that most likely does not occur in nature and is known only from cultivation. The exact origin of the cultivar is not commonly documented, but it belongs to compact forms suitable for growing in containers and as a houseplant.

The plant forms a small, naturally branched shrub composed of multiple small rosettes. The leaves are fleshy and predominantly dark green, often with a subtle red to burgundy tint along the margins that becomes more pronounced under good light. The rosettes are small and dense, and the plant maintains a compact habit without the need for regular intervention.

The flowers are small, star-shaped, most often yellow, and arranged in conical inflorescences emerging from the center of the rosette. Like most aeoniums, this plant is monocarpic, meaning that the flowering rosette dies after blooming, while the side rosettes continue to grow.

This succulent prefers a bright position, a well-draining substrate, and moderate watering with thorough drying between waterings. It works well as a houseplant on a bright windowsill or for seasonal outdoor cultivation, where it retains its compact form and deep leaf coloration, making it a stable and reliable plant for container growing.
