Greenovia Dodrentalis 'Aurea'

Greenovia dodrentalis 'Aurea' is an eye-catching succulent native to the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain and Africa. It is easily recognizable by its distinct, thick, bright green leaves, each with a thick dark green center line. In certain light, the dark green center line will take on a light purple hue with a glistening sheen. Rarely, some Greenovia dodrentalis 'Aurea' plants may produce a single flower with a yellow coloration and an orange center. Mature Greenovia dodrentalis 'Aurea' plants may reach heights of 12-18 inches tall. They are commonly kept as indoor house plants, and can make an aesthetically pleasing addition to any room.

Greenovia dodrentalis 'Aurea' is tolerant of drought and infrequent waterings. During the active growing season (spring and summer), it is recommended to water once every week or two. Water thoroughly enough to saturate the soil but quick enough to avoid overly wet conditions. When the weather is cooler in the winter, water roughly once every three weeks. Note that a good indicator of watering your plant too much is when yellowish leaves start to appear. When watering, it is important to ensure all excess water can drain away quickly.
