Why does your Aeonium decorum f. variegata have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Pet FriendlyAeoniums are succulents that store water in their leaves; excessive moisture causes the roots to suffocate, leading to chlorosis (yellowing) as the plant can no longer transport nutrients.
In variegated cultivars like 'f. variegata', the lack of chlorophyll makes them more sensitive to nutrient gaps; a lack of nitrogen can cause older, lower leaves to turn yellow.
While Aeoniums enjoy light, sudden exposure to intense, direct afternoon sun can damage the delicate variegated tissue, causing yellow or bleached patches.
Aeonium decorum is not frost-hardy; temperatures dropping near freezing can cause cellular damage, resulting in yellowing or translucent leaves.
