Aeonium ombriosum

A Canary Island Aeonium whose name refers to rain and cloud, pointing to the misty, trade-wind-influenced zone. Like its relatives it grows in the cool, moist months and slows down in the dry summer; give it bright light, mild temperatures and a summer rest.

Where it grows wild

Rocky slopes and cliffs in the cloud-influenced zone of the Canary Islands, generalised from the name and the genus; specific habitat notes were not available.

No recorded elevations; the climate site at sea level is an island-group centroid, and the species likely grows higher, in the cloud belt.
