Introducing the mountain rose succulent, known as Aeonium dodrantale, which is a stunning and unique plant that captivates with its rosette form and striking appearance. It gets its name because of its stunning resemblance to a rose and its natural habitat in mountainous regions.  

This Aeonium succulent has several other common names, such as Greenovia dodrantalis, Mountain Aeonium, or Giant Velvet Rose, due to its large, velvety leaves arranged in a beautiful rosette shape.  


Native to the Canary Islands, specifically Tenerife, this mountain rose succulent thrives in the mild, Mediterranean-like climate of its natural habitat.

Because of its clustering habit during summer dormancy, this lime-green plant, which resembles a green rose, matures into a neat clump.

It can grow up to 4 inches wide as an individual plant and produce offsets on up to 5 inches of long stalks.

In a cluster form, it will grow even wider. The leaves are obovate-spatulate, apically rounded, and glaucous, becoming glabrous with age.

The flowers of the mountain rose succulent produce tall, upright flower spikes topped with clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers, adding a charming contrast to its dark foliage. It blooms during the spring.  

When and How to Water Your Mountain Rose Succulent

Like many succulents, the Stapelia gigantea plant stores water in its thick, fleshy stems, allowing it to endure long dry periods without stress. Because of this, it’s best to water deeply but sparingly, ensuring the soil dries out completely between waterings. The Stapelia gigantea prefers watering once every 2-3 weeks in the growing season, and once a month in the dormant season.

From spring through early fall, during its active growing season, water your Stapelia gigantea every 2–3 weeks or when the top few inches of soil feel completely dry. When watering, soak the soil thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then let it dry out fully before watering again. Avoid letting it sit in water, as the roots are sensitive to excess moisture.

In late fall and winter, during its dormant season, Stapelia gigantea slows its growth and needs much less moisture. Reduce watering to once a month or even less, depending on your indoor humidity and temperature. In cooler environments, it’s often best to keep the soil almost dry, providing just enough water to prevent the stems from shriveling. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Mountain Rose Succulent 

When growing indoors, the mountain rose succulent thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. Place your Aeonium dodrantale near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight without being exposed to direct sunlight. 

If you notice the plant stretching or leaning towards the light source, it may indicate that it needs more sunlight. Rotating the plant periodically can help ensure even light exposure on all sides, promoting balanced growth. 

When grown outdoors, Aeonium dodrantale prefers a location with partial shade, especially in regions with hot, intense sunlight. If you live in a climate with mild temperatures and moderate sunlight, you can place your mountain rose succulent in a spot where it receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day, supplemented by bright indirect light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The mountain rose favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Aeonium succulent to thrive. 

Like other succulents, opens in a new tab, Aeonium dodrantale does not require frequent feeding. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your mountain rose succulent with a balanced (5-10-5), diluted NPK fertilizer designed for succulents. It's best to fertilize sparingly, about once a year, to avoid overfeeding, which can lead to nutrient imbalances or burn the plant's roots.  

In contrast, during the dormant period in fall and winter, you can skip fertilization altogether, as the plant's growth slows down, and it requires fewer nutrients during this time. 

Hardiness Zones & More 


In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 10-11.

These rose succulents can tolerate temperatures as low as 30°F but prefer warmer conditions.

In regions with hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from scorching sun exposure.

It is essential to ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during rainy periods. 

How to Grow Best Mountain Rose Succulent Indoors

When growing indoors, your Mountain rose succulent thrives in typical room temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It's important to avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts, as these can stress the plant. Additionally, Aeonium dodrantale prefers moderate humidity levels, so maintaining a humidity range of 40% to 60% can help prevent issues like leaf dehydration. 

Wildlife - Aeonium dodrantale Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Aeonium dodrantale plant is known to attract a variety of friendly pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to fertilize plants and promote biodiversity.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the Aeonium dodrantale is not considered toxic to humans or animals. It is easy to handle and requires minimal care, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor gardens alike.

How to Propagate Your Aeonium dodrantale

The Aeonium dodrantale can be propagated through stem cuttings or offsets. Stem cuttings can be taken from healthy, mature stems and allowed to callus before planting in well-draining soil. Offsets, also known as pups, can be carefully separated from the mother plant and replanted to establish new plants. 

Key Takeaways

  1. The tightly packed, petal-shaped leaves of Mountain Rose Succulent form a perfect green rosette that looks strikingly like a blooming rose — earning it the nickname “living rose.”
  2. During its dormant summer phase, the rosette closes tightly like a rosebud to conserve moisture, then reopens beautifully in cooler months.
  3. Once mature, it produces tall flower stalks with clusters of small yellow blooms — a stunning display that marks the end of the rosette’s life cycle but often leaves behind new offsets to continue growing.
  4. Though drought-tolerant, it prefers gentle, infrequent watering and can be sensitive to overwatering — a delicate balance that keeps it healthy and compact.

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Mountain Rose succulent (Aeonium dodrantale), is a striking plant native to the Canary Islands, boasting velvety rosettes of broad leaves and clusters of yellow flowers atop tall spikes. To care for this beauty, provide well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and moderate watering. With its unique appearance and relatively easy maintenance, Aeonium dodrantale is sure to add elegance and charm to any garden or indoor space.

Worth the time, effort to get a good theological overview
Format: Hardcover
This book may be 600+ pages, making it a daunting task for the average Christian. But I recommend Olson's book because it gets the job done. If you want to have a good overview of the process of theology, this "story" is excellent. Written in a chronological fashion, Olson makes the facts come alive rather than mundane and dull as some other books have done. Yes, as one earlier reviewer said, Olson has his presupposions--which historian doesn't?--and his views do come out, like when he is talking about "fundamentalists" and "Calvinists." But is there really any way to write in a completely objective fashion? It's a pretty difficult task, and I think every historian I've read has his/her own opinions, meaning the recording of history is quite subjective. So I don't think it's as big of a problem as that reviewer believed it to be. My favorite part of the book was the first couple hundred pages. To me, it's obvious that Olson feels most comfortable with the first 5 centuries of the church, and this also happens to be my favorite part of church history to study. I had no qualms with how he presented everything, and the thorough index is a wonderful tool that I will probably use in the future as a reference book. All in all, I give this book a hearty thumbs-up. Just be patient and work your way through it, and you will be blessed.

Great Foundational Book
Format: Hardcover
If you've ever wondered how the major pieces of Christian theology --things like the Trinity, Predestination, and Baptism-- you will find them here. Dr. Olson, a historian by trade, takes on the places, times, and movements that developed and hardened the Christian doctrines we know today. Essentially, this book follows a strictly chronological format, starting from the birth of the Church in the book of Acts, and carrying through to the split of the Fundamentalist movement and Reformed theology in the 20th Century. The first section deals with the fundamental heresies that came in with the founding of the Church by examining the writing of the Patristic Fathers, the Apologetic Fathers, and then focusing specifically on Irenaeus. Here the fundamental issues of the nature of Christ in his incarnation were initially resolved. Of course, many of these issues have risen again in recent time with the formation of heretical branches of Christian thought, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the LDS Church. The second section deals with the unity of the Church which is primarily founded on the conversion of Rome to a Christian state. While Dr. Olson does a good job of explain the good results of the unity of the Church, he doesn't cover the concerns of those Christians who objected to the sacralism of merging the state and church, and using state power to impose consistency of theology. The major argument over the nature of the Trinity is dealt with in the fourth section, and the fifth returns to the nature of Christ. Section five describes the split between the Eastern and Western church over the issue of the procession of the Spirit --does the Spirit proceed only from the Father, or from the Father and the Son. According to Dr. Olson, the theological quarrel was founded on different views of the place of Scripture and hermeneutics. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and the Reformers are covered in the seventh section. Dr. Olson provides good insight into the relationship between the various Reformers, laying the groundwork for the ultimate split of the Reformed movement described in section eight. The author's ability to lay out the relationships in this section provides a very easy to understand historical picture, though he tends to downplay the role and objections of the Anabaptists, and the sacralizing power grounded in Constantinian Christianity. In the final section Dr. Olson discusses the split between liberal and conservative Christianity, the split between fundamentalism and mainline Christianity. Some of the most interesting pieces he discusses here relate to the role of Billy Graham's ministry, and the role of various schools, strong personalities, and even the impact of scientific thinking in this era. A long read, but a good basis from which to reach out and investigate Christian history and theology.

Great Read for "Emerging" Christians (Kindle edition)
Format: Hardcover
I have a lot to say which is positive about this book, but first let me say my one disappointment: In his review of theological development of the 20th century, he completely skipped over the pentecostal and charismatic movements. He spent lots of time discussing liberation and feminist theologies, but skipped over these massive movements which claim followers in the 100s of millions. This is surprising to me do to the author's pentecostal roots and the fact that he is a solidly evangelical theologian. It could be argued that these movements haven't introduce "new doctrine" but rather just a "new emphasis" on existing doctrines such as spiritual gifts or the Holy Spirit. True, but then why did he spend so much time discussing the Pietists for whom the same could be argued. The theological influence of the pentecostal and charismatic movements is significant and their omission is glaring. Other than that... This is a timely book, especially for younger Christians. So many "emerging" Christians are writing books and spouting off ideas which they take to be new and innovative. Reading this book shows you just how tiered they are. Reading Olson's chapter on the emergence of 19th century theological liberalism in Germany reminded me of the last Brian McLaren book I read. Same ideas, but but in the context of church history one realises that these "new perspectives" have already been tried and found wanting. Solomon's declaration that, "There is nothing new under the sun" is what rand through my ears when I considered what a lot of hip, trendy, "innovative" preachers are saying now-a-days. Olson's dealing with Catholic and Orthodox church history was fair and unbiased given that many evangelical protestants often are when writing about them. I personally learned a lot about both the Scholastics as well as the Pietists. I also valued his perspective on Augustine. It is a great one volume work. Also, unlike the other reviewer, my Kindle version worked just fine.

Now I finally have a much better understand of theology
Format: Hardcover
I have always had a fascination with Christian theology and history. What could be better than a book on the history of Christian theology? It turns out that this book exceeded my expectations. What had been a confused and fuzzy understanding of theology has now crystallized into a much clearer view of the big picture. This helps to confirm my belief that the best way to understand any subject is by learning its history. Olsen's writing style is clear, concise and very interesting. I like how he is able to summarize vast quantities of information and ideas in such a short amount of space. I'm not saying this book is short, it is still over 600 pages long, but it could have been much longer. Olsen has obvious leanings on which doctrines he supports, and those that he doesn't. I didn't find his biases distracting, and it is always nice to know which way an author is leaning. I thought he did a reasonable job presenting the variety of worldviews within Christianity in a fair manner. I personally have the most experience studying early Christianity and I still learned a lot from this book. My weakest area of understanding was in modern theology and this gave me a good view at least to the year 2000. I'll probably need to get some advice on a good book to update me on current theology. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested understanding the history and diversity of Christianity.
