My echeveria kiwi is naked!

10 years ago

My echeveria kiwi that has been doing well for more than two years suddenly dropped its leaves from a major stem. It is not the normal dropping of lower leaves, but an over-night occurrence.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

I believe you mean your Aeonium 'Kiwi'. Two of the stems are creating inflorescences ~flowers to come~ but the one losing leaves does look odd. Can't say what caused it, as the others don't have same ailment. If the leaves had dried up & fallen off, I'd say that was normal ~but it doesn't look like that's what's happening here. Sorry I'm not of more help to you.

Thank you rosemariero! I can't believe I called my kiwi an Echeveria. No wonder it's dropping its leaves. Like you I'm mystified by the behavior of the Aeonium Kiwi. Hopefully someone will have some input.

Rabbit or cat came through and knocked the foliage off?
