Introducing the Aeonium 'Sunburst', which is a striking succulent plant that has a large rosette of variegated leaves and belongs to the Aeonium genus. Native to the Canary Islands, the Aeonium sunburst has several other common names such as Copper pinwheel, Aeonium decorum tricolor, sunburst aeonium, Copper pinwheel tricolor, or Aeonium decorum sunburst. 

The sunburst aeonium is visually appealing and is an easy-to-care-for succulent plant with variegated leaves resembling pinwheels. Its vibrant color adds warmth and elegance to rock gardens or indoor spaces, making it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts. 


The foliage is a captivating display of vibrant colors, with each leaf's center being bright green and the outer edges adorned with yellow, cream, pink, or orange shades.

This coloration can become more intense when exposed to direct sunlight.

The Aeonium sunburst can grow up to 24 inches tall into mature plants.

The Aeonium sunburst blooms in spring with small, star-shaped pale yellow-white flowers.

Aeoniums are monocarpic succulents, meaning that the individual rosette dies after flowering, but this usually happens after many years of growth—not immediately. The Aeonium Sunburst produces a tall, delicate flower stalk that can attract pollinators like bees and butterflies before the blooming rosette eventually withers. However, if the plant has multiple rosettes, only the flowering one dies, while the rest continue growing, allowing the plant to thrive for many seasons. 

Additionally, it’s important to note that the Copper pinwheel sunburst aeonium is considered friendly to both humans and pets. 

When and How to Water Your Aeonium Sunburst 

In the spring, during the growing season, the Aeonium Sunburst has moderate watering needs. It's important to keep the soil evenly moist but protect it from too much moisture, as constantly wet soil can damage your plant. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings and then water thoroughly, making sure the water reaches the root zone. It's always a good idea to check the moisture level of the soil before watering to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

Aeoniums can go dormant in summer and don't need water except in dry conditions. Water moderately and feed every two or three weeks with a balanced liquid feed. In winter, restrict water to prevent shriveling foliage.  

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Aeonium Sunburst 

When growing indoors as a houseplant, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive 4-6 hours of bright, filtered sunlight each day. However, be cautious of placing it in direct, harsh sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming leggy, it may be an indication that it needs more bright sunlight. In that case, consider using a grow light to supplement its light requirements. 

If you are growing your Aeonium sunburst outdoors, it enjoys full sun to partial shade.

It can tolerate direct sunlight, but it's important to acclimate it gradually to prevent sunburn.

Start by placing it in a spot with partial shade and gradually expose it to more sunlight over a few weeks. This will help the plant adjust to the intensity of the sun.

Just make sure it gets a minimum of 4-6 hours of sunlight each day for optimal growth and coloration. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to soil, the Aeonium sunburst pinwheel prefers well-drained soil that allows excess water to flow through easily. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your sunburst succulent to thrive. 

During the growing season, you can use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically formulated for succulent plants. Remember, it's always better to under-fertilize than over-fertilize, as excessive nutrients can cause damage to the plant. 

During the dormant period, which is typically in fall and winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. The plant's growth slows down during this time, and it doesn't require as much nutrients. Instead, focus on providing the plant with proper light and water to support its resting phase. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing your sunburst succulent plant indoors as a houseplant, it prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. It's important to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts, as they can stress the plant. You don't need to worry too much about providing extra humidity, but if the air in your home is very dry, you can occasionally mist the leaves with water to increase humidity around the sunburst aeonium. 

In the United States, this Aeonium sunburst is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

 It can handle temperatures as low as 30°F, but it's best to protect it from frost damage and freezing temperatures.

If you live in a colder climate, you can grow it as a potted plant and bring it indoors during the winter months. 

As for humidity, the Aeonium Sunburst can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels, from dry to moderately humid. Just make sure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. 

Wildlife - Aeonium Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Aeonium Sunburst attracts a variety of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its bright and colorful flowers. These pollinators play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to facilitate the reproduction of plants through pollination.

According to ASPCA, the Aeonium sunburst succulent is generally considered non-toxic to humans, dogs, and cats. It is safe to touch and handle, making it a great choice for households with pets or young children.

How to Propagate Your Aeonium Sunburst 

Aeonium Sunburst can be propagated through stem cuttings. To do this, simply cut a healthy stem from the plant and allow it to callous over for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and place the cutting in a location with bright, indirect sunlight to encourage root growth.

Does the job, but assembling by yourself is a nightmare
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Does it do the job? Yes, although as others said there are small gaps but it's not a huge deal. The price is also good. But the reason I'm giving it a 3/5 is simply because the assembly for this was a complete nightmare. I honestly don't think I would recommend this to anyone unless they have another person to help them assemble it, because doing it by myself was terrible. I don't think I'd buy this again, I think I'd opt to just spend a bit more money and save myself the trouble personally.

Reasonably adequate room divider
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Beige
I'm reviewing this as I assemble it. Couple things: 1. I didn't expect as much assembly. I've ordered dividers before and they more-or-less came as one unit. Sometimes the panels needed screwing together. These require complete assembly and come largely as three rods: two make up vertical columns and snap together. Another one (called part "C") makes the horizontal columns and you have two of these per panel (one attaches to part "A" and the other part "B"). These parts are metal with a plastic shim. Using the wood screws to attach to part "C" is a real pain in the neck. There's not much holding the panel in place so it's a little tricky. One tactic I've found while I'm assembling that works for the initial connections from parts A and B to their respective "C" rods is to hold the screw in place with a screw driver and then rotating the rod around the screw. This will do a number on your hands if you aren't wearing gloves. This obviously doesn't work when completing the connection. Using a driller driver on this is really near impossible because there isn't anything you can use to secure it in place. You can use it on the first panel, but as it gets longer, it becomes increasingly difficult and because it isn't wood, it's really tight. I considered drilling larger pilot holes but since there are only 4x4=16 screws I need to screw in, I just decided to use my screw driver to complete it. 2. Also related to assembly. When completing the panels (attaching parts "A" and "B" to parts "C" that have the cloth cover on it), you have to be careful that when you tighten that side that it isn't loosening the other side. Because the pilot holes are so tight, you can end up rotating the rod, which rotates it in the same direction as looser on the original side. Having someone hold the "C" rod in place while you screw it in is probably the easiest approach. I didn't have a 2nd person, so I just had to keep flipping back and forth and tightening both sides as I screwed it in. Not the worlds biggest deal, but annoying nonetheless. 3. The way the instructions are written, they seem to suggest building this thing progressively; that is, you do panel 1, then 2, connect them together, then do 3 and connect it, etc. I took a different route that I suspect saved me quite a bit of trouble, and I assembled all four panels first and THEN connected everything together. 4. For the love of God make sure you check that the plastic tip is on the same side for every panel. Otherwise, you have to take one side apart again and reverse it. On the bright side, if this happens, you've essentially bored out the pilot holes to be the correct size... which is having me question if I shouldn't have just bored them out to the appropriate width in the first place. 5. Attaching all of the panels together is also an enormous pain in the ass unless you happen to have an 88" long elevated surface. Attaching the legs either requires you to elevate one side, which will invariably twist the inexplicably cheap material in the bottom connectors... or you can attach them sideways... or you can put this thing upright, having two people hold the panels in place while you use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts on the underside. None of those are particularly great options. NOW on to the utility itself. 1. The panels do let some light through (I didn't believe their advertising, and that was one of the reasons that I bought beige, is that I wanted it to not be too dark). They aren't transparent though, so it isn't that far off from their description. They functionally work great, and keep the mess of wires hidden and when I'm sitting at my desk, actually reflect quite a bit of light into my office. Great! 2. My wife has described these as "the most hideous piece of furniture ever conceived of by man." So it does not have spouse approval factor. Granted, she will seldom be in my office area, so that isn't the end of the world. 3. These are really hard to align in a way that doesn't look a little tacky. There are some plastic connectors but they don't do a bang up job of keeping these in place. Each panel is slightly tilted and it's... quite obvious. I may at some point make my own improvements to these to help make them more level. It's not a particularly expensive product so I wasn't expecting much so it's fine and I'm not going to ding them on the rating because of it. All said, would I buy this product again? Probably not. It's assembly was ~90 minutes which is about 75 minutes longer than I was anticipating spending on this (not including the 5 minute writeup that I'm doing here). But am I going to return it? Also no, if for no other reason I'd be just as annoyed taking it apart and putting it in the original box to return it.
