Aeonium Ballerina Reversion
The plant likes a sunny habitat, but also prefers partial shade.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. In winter, limit watering.
It can tolerate -1.1 °C in the short term. However, the plant is not hardy.
The succulent is covered with fine whitish fluff. It gives the leaves a delicate appearance and feels pleasant to the touch. It covers the entire surface of the leaves, both on the underside and on the top.
Aeonium Ballerina Reversion, often sold as Aeonium Goblin, is a reverse (green) form of the similar Ballerina cultivar.
The leaves are characterised by their light green colour, which changes to beautiful yellow, orange and red tones in intense sunlight. They are usually covered with fine whitish hairs which give them a soft appearance and a velvety texture to the touch. The fleshy leaves, lance-shaped and slightly pointed, expand towards the tip to form cute rosettes that grow up to 10 cm across. Growth is quite rapid and the plant forms a large number of rosettes quite early on, which eventually grow into a small, bushy succulent. The overall height of the plant is around 20 cm.
Aeonium flowers appear in clusters of yellow star-shaped flowers. It is important to note that this is a monocarpic plant, i.e. the rosettes die back after flowering. But there is no need to worry too much, the plant survives from other branches and so will continue to give you pleasure.
We can supplement the fairly rapid growth with a diluted houseplant fertiliser, but this is not necessary. Aeonium Ballerina Reversion is a relatively rare plant and is therefore sought after by succulent collectors who want it for their collection.
