Aeonium Luteovariegatum is a rare variegated succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the Canary Islands. It evolved on rocky, sun-drenched hillsides where excellent drainage is the norm, and it adapts well to life as a container plant or garden showpiece.
Upright, clustering rosettes form on woody stems as the plant matures, creating a distinctive form. The spoon-shaped leaves are striped in creamy yellow and green, with the golden margins and green centers intensifying under bright light. Rosettes stack vertically to produce a tree aeonium form that stands apart in any collection. 
Aeonium Luteovariegatum produces tall conical clusters of small yellow flowers in late winter to spring, rising from the center of mature rosettes. Individual rosettes are monocarpic, meaning they flower once and then die back, but surrounding offsets carry on. A slight drop in nighttime temperatures encourages it to set buds, so a cool windowsill or outdoor spell in autumn can trigger bloom. 
Move it outside in summer and bring it indoors before frost threatens. It is sensitive to being moved too often, so once you find its location, let it stay. Aeonium Luteovariegatum is non-toxic to cats and dogs. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

Aeonium Luteovariegatum grows well in bright indirect light to partial sun indoors, and tolerates full sun when gradually acclimated outdoors. 
Water it deeply every 10-14 days during the growing season, reducing to once monthly during summer dormancy. 
Aeonium Luteovariegatum grows well in a fast-draining cactus and perlite mix to prevent root rot between waterings. 
It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 75°F and should be protected from frost below 25°F. Aeonium Luteovariegatum is a moderate grower that benefits from diluted balanced fertilizer once or twice during spring.
It is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F before needing protection. It grows outdoors year-round in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. Coastal parts of Oregon, Washington, and warmer pockets of North Carolina and Virginia can also support it with minimal winter shelter.
