  •   Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' is a stunning rare succulent in the Crassulaceae family, beloved by collectors and beginners alike. Native to rocky, arid regions of Mexico, it evolved to thrive in bright light and dry conditions, making it a naturally tough and adaptable houseplant.

      What sets Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' apart is its sharply pointed, glossy leaves arranged in a tight, symmetrical rosette with an upright growth style. The foliage carries a rich, deep green tone with translucent leaf tips that catch the light beautifully, making it a standout on any windowsill, desk, or modern planter display.

      Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' produces slender stalks topped with coral-to-red blooms, typically appearing in spring or early summer when the plant experiences a nighttime temperature drop. Cooler nights are the key trigger, so moving it outdoors in summer or into a cooler room in autumn can encourage those gorgeous flower spikes to appear.

      Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' is a wonderful drought tolerant, low humidity plant that genuinely thrives in dry air, tolerating heated indoor environments with ease. It is pet friendly, beginner-friendly, and hardy enough to survive a 10-day trip alone without watering. As a rare succulent, it is a prized addition to any serious Echeveria collection, and it moves happily onto a patio or outdoor garden bed for summer, provided you keep it covered from rain.

    🌵 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.
