Aeonium Dograntale

Aeonium Dodrantale is a succulent that is native to the Canary Islands. This plant belongs to the family of the thick leaf crops (crassulaceae) and is characterized by its characteristic rosettes and unusual growth forms.

Botanical characteristics

Aeonium Dodrantale forms density rosettes made of fleshy leaves, which usually develop into a symmetrical form. The leaves are long, spatula -shaped and often covered by a wax -like layer that minimizes evaporation losses. The plant can reach a height of up to 60 centimeters, the stem branches and forms several rosettes.

spread

The natural distribution of aeonium docrantally is limited to the Canary Islands, especially in Tenerife. Here you can find the succulents at different altitudes, from coastal areas to higher mountain regions. Due to its striking appearance, Aeonium Dograntaale is also cultivated as an ornamental plant in other parts of the world.

Ecological adjustments

Aeonium Dograntale has developed various ecological adjustments to survive in the often dry and barren environments of the Canary Islands. The rosette structure minimizes evaporation while the dense leaves store water. This succulent is well adapted to the dry climate and can survive longer dry periods.

Cultural meanings

Due to its striking appearance and easy -care nature, Aeonium Dogantaene is often used in succulent gardens, stone gardens and as a potted plant for the interior. The plant also has a decorative value in art and garden architecture.

Current research results

Modern research on Aeonium Dogantage focuses on various aspects, including genetic studies on biodiversity within the type, ecophysiological studies for adapting climate changes and possible applications of the plant in landscape design.

Nursing instructions

In cultural environments, Aeonium Dograntale needs a well -permeable earth and prefers sunny locations. Regular watering during the growth period and occasional fertilizers promote optimal growth. In cold climates, the plant should be protected from frost.
