Growth Rate
Aeonium Pink Witch is a rather slow growing succulent and it may take years before you can see it growing. The good part is that it grows in clusters.
With its growing season in spring and late winter, you will witness flowers that become pink with red tinges. As the season's change, so do the shades of pink!
Watering and Feeding
Water once each week during the growing season. Feed during the growing season with a half-strength balanced fertilizer every month or so.
Plant it in a well-drained, airy soil mix. Coco peat and pumice or perlite is recommended. A store-bought soil suitable for succulents will work too.
What makes this succulent unique is that the temperature and hardiness zone it is kept in can determine the color of the flower. It has a bright pink coloration which gets more intense in stronger light levels.
While the succulent thrives in full, bright, and direct sun, you need to beware of the sunlight conditions in your region. If the sun is intense and harsh, keep it in partial shade.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aeonium 'Pink Witch' after it doubles in size or once a year —whichever comes first.
Is my aeonium getting too much sun? I got this beautiful “emerald ice” aeonium a few weeks ago. At the time, it had a main area and a smaller side growth, both relatively flat. Over the last few weeks both have grown upwards. But the smaller shoot has all but died and the larger one has half dead black leaves when I lift the uppermost ones. It’s outdoors and gets about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day, watered every 2 weeks (per the app’s suggestion). Not sure if it’s getting too much sunlight, or if there is some other issue, or if this is normal. Any ideas?
This poor thing needs help I found this Aeonium Kiwi while looking at succulents in Home Depot. It was a surprise, I never thought I would find one there! She was in sad shape, dried out in a tiny pot, leaves broken off. So of course I had to save her! Lol So I got her home, repotted her with succulent soil, and gave her a drink. Now she’s with everyone else in my window. I’ve never had an Aeonium before, does that care sound right? I’m hoping she grows back beautiful 😍
Dying or Dead? 😞 #TreeAeonium
Mealy bugs on Calla Lilly I was wondering how one would get mealy bugs off of a calla lily with so many leaves infected. I also have a Haworth’s Aeonium that has mealy bugs. I used rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip to get them off the Aeonium. However, I still find some here and there. My main concern is the calla lily though. Any advice?
What is the safest way to remove the water spots from my newly resurrected Aeonium? I would usually use Neem oil and distilled water but I'm very nervous I'll harm this beautiful plant! Thanks so much! #TreeAeonium
Sad succulents Help, I have 2 of these in a container with several other succulents. The other succulents are doj g fine, but these 2 are not happy about the move indoors for the winter. I've added grown lights in the last week, and am more carefully monitoring moisture level. Any suggestions? Can I save it 😢
It’s has opened up when I got it it was closed up is this ok #TreeAeonium
!! new plant alert !! i am THRILLED to have this beautiful variegated aeonium sedifolium in my oasis :) super grateful for the person who sold it to me - she really didn’t want to lol she loved it too much😭 it’ll be in great hands !! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #DwarfAeonium #variegatedplants
Tree Aeonium is looking pretty. Love the bright green center. And Echeveria 'Pulv-Oliver' is killing me making me wait SO long for this flower! And my husband got me a couple of new air plants for Christmas. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #ultrakoreanfir
How to root a beheaded succulent? (ID confirmation also appreciated!) I got this (suspected) aeonium for Christmas and have already done some damage. While trying to ID it I knocked it off the bed and the whole top snapped off🥲 I know there’s still hope, I’m just not sure how to proceed. I now have the top aside to callus, how long should that process take? After it’s callused and placed in soil, do I need to water it or just wait until roots form? Final question, is there a chance the stem will pop out new growth? Or would it need a remaining leaf to absorb light? #Aeonium #SucculentSquad

Aeonium 'Pink Witch' is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
Aeonium 'Pink Witch'
Description: When we first acquired our 'Pink Witch' it was winter, the plants were actively growing and overall looked very green and white with only a small amount of pink on the outer margins of the leaves. And although we had seen photo's of how pretty they could be, it did not immediately draw in our full attention and left us a little in wonder.
Over the following months as our plants grew and matured, the pinky tones slowly became more apparent and then suddenly, bang. without warning (as most Aeoniums do) the colours seemingly burst forward and the plants displayed the most vivid colour pink! And not a just a blush as some Aeoniums will often show, but an extremely vibrant true pink!
It now has our full attention and how wrong we were to ever doubt its beauty as it is simply one of the most beautiful of all the Aeonium cultivars!
Plant Care: They depth of colours will change considerably throughout the year and will generally darken throughout the summer months and when stressed. To maintain a good depth of "Pink" avoiding over exposing the plant to too much direct summer sun.
Origins: 'Pink Witch' is believed to be a derivative of Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty'.

In terms of watering, it is important to not overwater the Aeonium pink witch. The plant is native to arid regions, so it is adapted to surviving in dry conditions. It is best to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
When watering, it is important to provide a thorough soak, ensuring that the water reaches the roots. However, it is crucial to avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged soil as it can lead to root rot. A well-draining soil mix is essential for the health of Aeonium pink witch. A combination of regular potting soil and perlite or pumice works well to ensure good drainage. It is also important to use a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom. Like most succulents, Aeonium pink witch is relatively low-maintenance when it comes to fertilization. During the growing season, which typically occurs in spring and summer, the plant can benefit from a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month. However, it is important to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to fertilizer burn. One characteristic of Aeonium pink witch that sets it apart from other succulent varieties is its dormancy period. In the fall and winter months, the plant enters a period of rest where it slows down its growth and requires less water. During this time, it is best to reduce watering frequency and allow the soil to dry out even more between waterings. In terms of propagation, Aeonium pink witch can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem from the plant, allow it to dry out for a few days, and then place it in well-draining soil. With proper care and watering, the cutting should root and develop into a new plant. Overall, with the right care and conditions, Aeonium pink witch can thrive and become a beautiful addition to any succulent collection. Its vibrant colors and unique growth habit make it a standout plant that is sure to attract attention..
Reviews for "Aeonium Pink Witch: The Perfect Succulent for Busy Plant Parents"
1. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to get the Aeonium pink witch plant for my garden, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. Despite following all the care instructions, the plant started to wilt and the leaves turned brown within a week. I tried different watering schedules and sunlight exposure, but nothing seemed to revive it. It's such a shame because the plant looked beautiful when I first got it, but it just didn't survive for long.
2. John - 1 out of 5 stars - I have never had such a difficult time taking care of a plant before. The Aeonium pink witch was a nightmare from day one. The plant constantly needed to be watered, but even then, it would droop and the leaves would become discolored. It was incredibly frustrating to put in so much effort and not see any improvement. I eventually gave up and the plant died. I would not recommend this plant to anyone who is not an experienced gardener.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - The Aeonium pink witch may be visually appealing, but it is a high-maintenance plant that requires constant attention. I had to constantly monitor the soil moisture and adjust watering accordingly. Even with my efforts, the plant didn't thrive and ended up dying within a few weeks. If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant, this is definitely not the one for you. It's disappointing because I had high hopes for it, but it just wasn't worth the effort.
