About This Cultivar

'Sunburst' developed as a large-form variegated sport, producing dinner-plate-scale rosettes with distinct colour banding — pink margins fading through cream to a yellow-green centre. Its size and bold colouration have made it a staple of premium succulent retail displays worldwide.

Care Basics

  • Light: Bright, direct-to-indirect light; strong light intensifies the pink edge colouring
  • Water: Soak-and-dry; more active growth in cooler months
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings; variegated sections can occasionally revert to solid green and should be pruned out
  • Common issue: Sunburn on the thinner variegated leaf tissue in intense, unfiltered summer sun
