Watering Needs 

Overwatering should be avoided at all costs as the purple rose is highly vulnerable to root rot if kept in constantly damp soil. It's important to allow the soil to fully dry out between each watering, and if you're unsure whether or not it's time for another drink, err on the side of caution and give it some extra time. 

Although desert succulents like Aeonium atropurpureum are able to survive months without water. As such, it is able to store water in its leaves and stems. When the soil is dry to the touch, it is an indication that the plant needs water. So, pay close attention to this purple beauty watering needs; you'll be able to keep your purple rose tree healthy and happy for years to come! 

In the summer months, aeoniums can go dormant and don't need water unless the weather is extremely dry. During the winter growing period, water the purple rose moderately every two to three weeks.   

Light Requirements 

The Purple rose requires a lot of light and should be grown in either full sun or part shade. New plants can get burned in full direct sunlight as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight so that it doesn't get burned by the intense rays. 

When grown in full sun, the foliage of Aeonium atropurpureum turns almost black - talk about adding incredible interest to your outdoor space! On the other hand, if you grow it in partial shade, the leaf rosette takes on a reddish-purple hue with a green center. 

You can even grow purple aeonium indoors! Just make sure to place them near southern and western windows for optimal sunlight exposure. Don't leave them languishing in dim light, though - move them outdoors from time to time for 4 - 6 hours at least when natural light is scarce (like during winter).  Remember, Purple rose tree aeoniums will not go dormant if they are kept indoors or in a shaded area. They can still grow well in these conditions, but they may grow more slowly than they would outdoors. 

With proper care and attention paid to their light requirements, purple roses are sure to be statement pieces wherever they grow! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Purple roses like very airy, porous, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 5.6 - 6.5, Succulents require fast-draining soil that dries completely between waterings. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil.  Soggy wet soil can damage your tree aeonium and contributes to bacterial and fungal rot. In addition, because of a lack of oxygen, soggy soil substitutes air pockets with water, resulting in an anaerobic environment that can kill your healthy plants. 

 As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, peat moss, and good natural potting soil. Ideally, you want to use our specialized potting mix that contains organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum to thrive.  

Ideally, you should look for a natural fertilizer with an approximate blend of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. The best choice is to use a natural fertilizer as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. 

Hardiness Zones & more 

The purple aeonium can't stand frost or too much humidity, therefore it needs warm, dry conditions. A well-draining potting mix and drainage holes in the potting container will help you maintain temperatures and prevent too much moisture. They can therefore be cultivated year-round outside in USDA zones 9 through 11. 

The ideal temperature for the purple rose tree is 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit, it can survive moderate winter temperatures as long as the soil is not wet and the temperature does not drop below 35 degrees F. 

Frost can be damaging to the purple rose, causing the leaves to become soft and mushy. If the plant is exposed to frost for an extended period of time, it may die. It is important to protect the plant from frost by bringing it indoors or covering it with a frost blanket when temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. 

Give this Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum - purple rose succulent - a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Don’t but this…
Color: Black, Color: Black
The holder came quickly and isn’t that bad but mounts with a huge adhesive backing, which again isn’t;t bad, but it was sent in a plastic bad, like a zip lock bag. The adhesive backing has NO protecvtyive strip on it, so it is covered in lint and debris and was sticking to the bag it was sent in.

I just hope it will last for a long time
Color: Black*2
The material is not cheap, I mean it’s a really good silicone! Very easy to use out of the box, and it did fit two of my bricks. All I hope is that it will last for a long time stuck under my desk since I had to stick my bricks upside down.

Works great. Keeps things nice and tidy.
Color: Black, Color: Black
Works great! I regularly use the end of my dining table as a spot to use my laptop and really wanted a more organized way of keeping the cord tidy. This of course would also easily work on a desk as well It's completely made from a nice stretchy and durable silicone and could accommodate pretty good size chargers. My charger is pretty small so it doesn't fit tightly, but it still works perfectly. It's also super easy to install. The reverse side of this has really strong adhesive to hold onto whatever flat surface you attach it to. Mine is adhered to the underside of a wood table and so far it doesn't appear to have any issues with it. I should mention that since it's held on by adhesive, it's not something you can easily move after installed, so put it where you want it to permanently be. That said, for the price you can easily get a second or a third one if you need it in multiple locations. Overall, it works great and it really keeps my laptop charger off the floor and everything is nice and tidy.

Nice, BUT a few mounting holes would have made it 5 stars!
Color: Black*2
These seem to be fine but since I have to use this to hold a power brick to a wood joist which is NOT smooth, the included adhesive back is not something that will hold securely! I ended up have to screw two wafer head screws through the rubber backing and into the joist to hold the holder to the wood joist securely. If they put some thought into the design, it would have been nice, if they had incorporated a few mounting holes, which would have taken care if this being mounted to items that are not smooth such as a wood joist or other rough surfaces!
