  •   Echeveria 'New Black' is a striking rare dark succulent in the Crassulaceae family, prized by collectors worldwide. Like all echeverias, it traces its roots to the semi-arid regions of Mexico and Central America, where it evolved to thrive in bright light and well-draining soils. This easy care succulent has earned a devoted following among beginners and enthusiasts alike.

      Echeveria 'New Black' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes packed with thick, fleshy leaves in a dramatic near-black to deep burgundy-purple hue. The leaves have a slightly waxy, smooth texture with gently pointed tips that give each rosette a sculptural, jewel-like quality. Over time, Echeveria 'New Black' clusters beautifully, producing offsets that fill a pot with layers of dark, moody rosettes that look stunning against bright pots or pale gravel.

      Echeveria 'New Black' is a clustering rosette that becomes even more visually spectacular when it produces offsets, gradually building into a full, lush display. To encourage blooming, this dark echeveria benefits from a natural night temperature drop, which signals the plant that it is time to shift into a flowering cycle. Rotating Echeveria 'New Black' regularly ensures every side of the rosette develops evenly and maintains that perfectly symmetrical form.

      Echeveria 'New Black' is a genuinely rare dark succulent that makes a coveted addition to any serious collection or a memorable indoor succulent gift. It moves happily outdoors for summer and can linger outside into autumn in mild climates, just be sure to keep it sheltered from rain, since sitting water causes rot. This plant is pet friendly, survives a 10-day trip without a caretaker, and tolerates the dry heated air found in most homes, making Echeveria 'New Black' one of the most low maintenance succulents you can own.

  •   Echeveria 'New Black' thrives in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun, needing at least 4-6 hours of good light daily.

      Water Echeveria 'New Black' thoroughly every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, always letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

      Echeveria 'New Black' performs best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with 30-50% perlite or coarse grit to prevent root rot.

    🌵 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.
