We pot our plants in John Innes No. 3 Potting Compost. Potting Compost No. 1 or No. 2 can be used as well but the plants will not grow so rapidly.
Any type of pot can be used provided that it has drainage holes. For plants which will spend some time on a patio, clay pots are useful to prevent the plants from blowing over.
During the growing season, water the plants approximately once a week or whenever the compost has completely dried out and feed with any pot plant food about once per month.
With plenty of food and water Aeonium zwartkop grows vigourously during the summer months
Aeoniums will tolerate a minimum temperature of zero degrees Celsius; a temperature of -1 or -2 degrees will kill most types. The plants will grow from January until October provided that daytime temperatures reach 15C and do not fall below about 5C. If the temperature can be maintained then the plants can be watered as described above.
