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.

I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Helpful for throwing as much as my dog wants to fetch. I actually had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder a few months after getting my dog - never had a dog with this much energy before! The Chuckit really helps. Downside: The ball that comes with it is larger than a tennis ball, so may be too much for smaller doge. I can't imagine my sister-in-law's french bulldog carrying it! Also, in our house it gets destroyed within minutes, as my dog is a strong chewer. For this situation, I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Black, size Large. This is shaped sort of like a snowman, which means it bounces unpredictably at times. My dog eventually chews the "head" off of this toy, but the remaining 2/3 still fits in the Chuckit (and is actually easier to throw with the "head" missing!). One caveat: the KONG is significantly heavier than the ball included with the Chuckit, so be aware of that... Also, we ordered our first Chickit in October 2015, then needed to replace it in May of 2017, as it broke. I think the plastic became brittle over that time, as we left it out in the sun & rain in Florida. Since it is cheap to replace, that's not a big deal. (We ordered three Kong toys over that same period of time!) To summarize, it's a very helpful tool to get the ball further, faster, with less strain, than without it. Knowing there are alternatives to the included ball for heavy chewers makes it worthwhile.

Great Ball Launcher!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our dogs love this ball launcher! I can throw the ball long distances without any arm strain. The balls wear out, and as described by others, tennis balls don’t fit. Buy extra balls if this is of concern. We bought a few of the “Chuck It” rubber 3” balls and they have worked well for our dogs. It’s a great value and fun for the dogs.

Chuckit!! Just Chuck it!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Chuck it further than your skinny little arms can chuck it. Doggo loved this, I loved this and when we were done Doggo promptly hid it under the porch so I couldn’t take it from him. It’s not a squeaky toy, it’s for fetch. You wing it out toward the yard and it flies, bounces if it’s lucky then is attacked in an adoring manner. We like it!!

The best way to tire your dog out in the dark
Size: 25in
My 7 month Golden Retriever puppy has way too much energy. And I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark. This was the solution. First of all if you get this, I suggest a UV flashlight to charge it. Most of these phosphors for glow in the dark items have very strong optical absorption in the UV, and the UV will charge both the ball and the launcher in seconds. I shine the light at the launcher with the ball in it, since you can then see where the launcher is when you are trying to load the ball. I use this UV flashlight, which takes qty=3 AA batteries. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A5KLUG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have never used a launcher before and I learned it within about 10 throws. It is easy to have a basic competence. I live in a suburban area and I send the ball across front lawns, trying to avoid the street, or hitting my neighbors parked cars. I can consistently do this now with the launcher, which is a big improvement over the old tennis racket and ball routine. I got the 25" medium ball launcher, which also works for tennis balls. The scoop goes easily over the Chuck-it balls. My older dog is not taking to it, since he was trained to sit and give the ball. This works better if you have the dog drop the ball so you can scoop it. The glow in the dark ball has 2 holes (think wiffle) that have a low pitch whooshing whistle as you toss it. This is great for my puppy who gets easily distracted as the glowing ball and the noise it makes really helps him propery mark it. Overall I think the dog retrieves better in the dark as there are fewer distractions, and I feel better about the dark for retrieving since there is no traffic early in the morning (both foot and auto). The ball has some squish to it and the pup loves to chew on it as he brings it back. I do not let him play with it when we are not retrieving...better for him to destroy his chew bones and ropes. It took him about 5 tries to get the hang of picking up the new ball. The older dog (13yr old golden) does not like it and only goes for tennis balls. I can tell already this is my puppy's favorite toy ever. I put it up out of reach across coat hooks in the entryway, and that pup will sit there staring at it, then at me, then at it hoping that I will go out and use it. With bounces and rolls and the puppy missing the grab this has gone 100-150' across 3 front lawns. I am looking forward to giving it a go in the park on the weekend. Main problems with the pup now are he likes to parade around me with the ball when he comes back, then lie down and try to give it a proper chew. If I use my launcher to pick it up, I have to put my foot between him and the ball since he will try to get it back fast. Overall this launcher means faster pickup, faster release, more accurate release, good distance, and a better run per time allocation than the old tennis racket and ball routine.
