Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Echeveria Black Prince is a striking and bold succulent known for its deep, dark purple to almost black foliage. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and pointed, arranged in a tight rosette. As the plant matures and is exposed to more sunlight, the colors intensify, creating an almost velvety appearance. In spring, Echeveria Black Prince produces tall, slender stems topped with clusters of tubular, orange-red flowers, which contrast beautifully against the dark leaves. This visually unique succulent is perfect for containers, succulent arrangements, or as a dramatic focal point in garden beds.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun will intensify the dark purple hues of the leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Echeveria Black Prince is generally winter dormant, requiring less water during the cooler months when growth slows.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by leaf cuttings or offsets. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Regular inspections help maintain plant health.

Toxicity:
Echeveria Black Prince is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
