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 buy
Size: 28'' X 34''
Mine arrived broken and scratched I think I received one that someone had returned. It also doesn’t hold pads that well my 4 lb teacup Yorkie is able to pull the pad off of the pad holder without even ripping the pad.

Excellent!

Highly recommend this pad holder. Does an excellent job keeping the pad secure and in place. No more shredded pads since. Bonus: no leaks on the floor. It’s so practical and so helpful.

Pretty Good But Not Perfect!
Size: 28'' X 34''
I have been using two of these frames for my miniature poodle puppy for almost a month now and while they are useful, they could be improved. The size of the frames are great for our miniature size poodle puppy and the Amazon pads that fit the frames absorb well without leaking underneath. The grips on the bottom of the frame keep it in place so it does not slide across floor. The frame hinges in the center so you can easily carry it through doorways. I am in my 60's so it is nice to be able to carry it to my work table in order to change pads while standing up. My 4 month old 10 pound puppy can make a dinner plate size circle of pee onto the pad first thing in the morning. 4 large pees are easily held by the pee pads before needing to change it but we prefer to change the pads more often for sanitary reasons. Not sure if you have a very large breed dog that these would work for you. Our puppy likes going on these without hesitation so they are comfortable for him to walk around on and turn to find just the right spot! Compared to other brands I have looked at this is a great value for money and worth a try to help with potty training your pup. Our puppy sleeps in an X-pen inside of our home at night and when we are gone so these help with keeping the pads where we want them. We have two - one inside X-pen and one by door where we are training puppy to go outside. These frames are nice in appearance and seem like they will last but they are a little awkward to use compared to another brand I purchased which was more durable and easier to change pad. I ended up with these because other brands do not offer such a large size (28 x 34). Our main complaints about these frames are: 1. The top frame is hinged and a little wobbly to manuever over the edges of the pee pads. Another brand, while a bit smaller, has a solid one piece frame that goes over entire pad in one step. This frame requires a three step process of laying pad down, pulling edges out flat and placing one side of frame down and then repeating on other side. There is usually a bit of adjustment that needs to be done and so requires opening and closing the frame again for adjustments. 2. The Amazon pee pads that fit this frame hold the pee well without leaking but have very thin tissue paper like edges (blue) that do not extend out far enough to make capturing the edges of the pee pad under the frame very easy to maneuver. It would be a game changer if the pads were made at least 1" bigger around length and width so edges are firmly held in place. 3. Our tiny 10 pound poodle pup is able to easily dig out edges of pad and tear it up. Not as bad as a loose pad by any means, but blue edges are exposed at side centers where frame hinges and there is no cover of edges (unlike a one piece frame) and the blue color seems to attract him. He can dig and loosen pad on any side because there is no way to hide and hold down all of the blue edges of pee pad. I am still using these to potty train and, as I said earlier, these are way better than loose pee pads. I may shop for even larger size pee pads in the future to better lock down all of the edges without so much difficulty.

Good product for dog training.
Size: 22'' X 22''
Work for the most part. Dogs will chew on it so wipe it down with dawn dish soap. Hard to clean where it clips down.

Saving My Floors
Size: 28'' X 34'', Size: 28'' X 34''
Omg, what a game changer. My pups like to destroy the pads whenever they get the chance to. With this they still try but never succeed. I will say that it can be a little sturdier as the handles are a little flimsy, but I manage and it does the job. It's very easy to use when I change the pads and I use 2 pads for coverage. I just placed it where I usually place their pads and it fits right in the spot. They are trained to go outside but on rainy days this comes in handy. To save my floors it's definitely worth the money spent.
