Why does your Aeonium Lilypad 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 and rot, leading to chlorosis (yellowing) as the plant can no longer transport nutrients.
A lack of nitrogen prevents the production of chlorophyll in the older, lower leaves of the Lilypad rosette, causing them to turn pale yellow before eventually dropping.
While Aeoniums enjoy mild weather, extreme summer heat can cause the plant to go into a semi-dormant state where leaves lose pigment and turn yellowish or pale.
Small, sap-sucking insects like mealybugs feed on the succulent tissues of the Aeonium, secreting honeydew and causing leaves to lose their vibrant green color and turn yellow.
