Why does your Aeonium canariense have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Aeoniums are succulents that store water in their leaves; excessive soil moisture leads to anaerobic conditions, causing roots to rot and preventing water transport, which manifests as yellowing.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the plant from producing chlorophyll, causing older, lower leaves in the rosette to turn pale yellow before moving upward.
While Aeoniums enjoy light, extreme midday sun in intense climates can bleach the leaf tissue, turning them yellowish or white due to cellular damage.
As an Aeonium grows, it naturally sheds its oldest, bottom-most leaves to redirect energy to new growth at the top of the stem.
