  •   Echeveria 'Gothika' is a rare gothic succulent that belongs to the diverse Echeveria genus native to Mexico and Central America. This striking dark purple succulent has captured collectors' hearts with its dramatic coloration and compact rosette form.

      Echeveria 'Gothika' displays thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a perfect rosette pattern, showcasing deep purple to nearly black coloration that intensifies in bright light. The leaves have a smooth, waxy texture with subtle pointed tips that create an architectural appearance. This black succulent typically reaches 4-6 inches across, making it an ideal specimen for small spaces and container gardens.

      Echeveria 'Gothika' requires rotating regularly to maintain its symmetrical rosette shape and even coloration. This drought tolerant succulent thrives in dry heated air conditions that challenge many houseplants. The plant is remarkably resilient and can survive a 10-day trip without water, making it perfect for busy lifestyles.

      Echeveria 'Gothika' works beautifully as an indoor succulent on bright windowsills or under office LEDs, though it can move outside during summer months with protection from rain. This easy care succulent appeals to collectors seeking rare specimens with dramatic coloration. The plant is pet friendly and tolerates the dry air from heating systems, though it's sensitive to direct airflow from AC units and heaters.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
