Aeonium tabuliforme

The flat-plate Aeonium of Tenerife: a stemless rosette pressed flat against moist, north-facing cliffs at low elevation. It flowers once after a few years and then dies, so keep seed or leaf cuttings going. Give it bright light without hot sun, mild winters, winter water and a dry, cool summer.
