General Care for Aeonium urbicum aka Salad Bowl

Aeonium urbicum, affectionately known as Salad Bowl, grows close to the ground and can create a charming small bush effect when multiple plants are grouped together in your xeriscaped yard.

Watering

Salad Bowl has standard watering needs for a succulent. The soak and dry method is ideal—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Where to Plant

Salad Bowl isn’t cold-hardy. If your area gets colder than 20°F (-6.7°C), plant it in a container you can bring indoors. This succulent does well in full to partial sun. Aim for a garden spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Indoors, place it near a south-facing window if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere.

How to Propagate Aeonium urbicum aka Salad Bowl

Propagation is straightforward with stem cuttings.

Cuttings

To propagate Salad Bowl from cuttings, use a sterile, sharp knife or scissors to remove a stem from the main plant. Allow the cutting to callous for several days before placing it in well-draining soil. Water only when the soil is completely dry.
