Aeonium 'Phoenix Flame' is a cross between Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' (a well-known dark cultivar) and Aeonium simsii (a smaller Aeonium with lanceolate leaves) in the Crassulaceae family. Native to Gran Canaria Island in the Canary Islands, where it thrives at elevations up to 6000 feet. It’s an evergreen clustering succulent with 3-4 inch wide dark reddish black rosettes with brilliant green centers made of lanceolate leaves with narrower tips and ciliate margins that creates a low mound to 6-12 inches tall. 

Firecracker needs to be cared for in a well-lit environment so that its leaves turn deep purple-red while the middle part of the leaves wrap up while the surrounding leaves continue to spread out, just like an open peacock. Firecracker has striking dark foliage and is quite compact with a larger central rosette with numerous offsets forming a tidy, attractive plant. It’s a great plant for use as a groundcover or for a specimen in the garden or container. 

 

 

Care Tips

Light: This plant needs plenty of sunlight, so it is best to have a well-lit and well-ventilated balcony to raise Firecracker indoors. The closed balcony method is not very easy to raise, and the closed environment is also easy to breed mealybugs. 

Water: After summer dormancy, the Firecracker also needs shade and water control, watering frequency is adjusted to about once every 20 days and is watered at night when the temperature is relatively low. A drop along the edge of the pot is enough.  

Soil: It is best to keep the Firecracker indoors with a slightly higher configuration of granular soil because indoor ventilation is not as easy as outdoor. After watering, it is not easy to dry quickly, so the soil with better water retention is more likely to appear as a waterlogged rotten phenomenon. You can follow the proportion of 60% of granular soil and 40% of peat soil, not easy to accumulate water and rotten roots can also control the shape.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: The optimal growing temperature is between 64-82°F (18-28°C). It’s a winter type succulent that can grow at a minimum of 28°F (-2°C) in winter, and it is best to keep the temperature at about 41°F (5°C) at this time of the year if the mage is to spend the winter peacefully. When the temperature is low, the succulent mage will enter a dormant period, so you don't need to water the plant too much and can stop fertilizing the plant at this stage. 

Humidity: Firecracker grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. It does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

Monster Mutt Loves it
One of the Guardians of our home ranch adores her. First thing she grabs after waking in the morning. Lila Mae enjoys the shape as well as texture. Considering it keeps the South African queen happy and content. Compared to the Boers past toys which they easily bored of easily, the fem stays dillegent in her quest to capture Jaws. Thanks for reading. Postscript, my jacks have no interest. They can't destroy it

For aggressive chewers.
The product lasted all of 20-40 min. I wasn't timing him chewing. But he was quick to get off the head. He had fun but he must be in a different category than aggressive chewer.

She loves it (I got the lobster one)
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My 6 month old JRT has never been so hyper over a toy before lol I will say two things, she can't get her mouth on it enough to engage the squeaker/tail aspect on her own so if you have a smaller dog/puppy be mindful of that. And she broke its tail within 10 mins of chewing on it, apparently that's her favorite part after she saw it move lol so it's all bent up now. BUT if your dog likes tossing their toys around like mine it's perfect, it's light enough for her to do that and the tail and claws are good biting spots. And she hasn't tore it up yet despite her best efforts. A solid toy.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.
