Description

black rose succulent indoors Black RoseIntroducing the black rose, known as Aeonium Zwartkop', a beautiful variety of Aeonium arboreum. The name "Black Rose" comes from its leaves, which have a deep purple black tint that resembles roses. It is not a rose, but a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family. The black rose Aeonium zwartkop has several other common names, such as Aeonium arboreum zwartkop, Aeonium black rose, purple crest aeonium, Aeonium 'black beauty', or tree aeonium.

Introducing the black rose, known as Aeonium Zwartkop', a beautiful variety of Aeonium arboreum. The name "Black Rose" comes from its leaves, which have a deep purple-black tint that resembles roses. It is not a rose, but a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family.

The black rose Aeonium zwartkop has several other common names, such as Aeonium arboreum zwartkop, Aeonium black rose, purple crest aeonium, Aeonium 'black beauty', or tree aeonium. 

Hailing from the Canary Islands and reaching 5 feet in height and 3 feet in diameter at maturity, the black rose aeonium forms clumps and is sure to make a statement wherever it's planted.

When grown in full sun, the foliage takes on a deep, almost black color, which is why it's often referred to as the "Black Rose."

When grown in partial shade, the rosettes display a beautiful combination of purple-red hues with a green center. It's such a versatile plant that can add a touch of elegance and drama to any garden or succulent collection.

The flowers of Aeonium zwartkop bloom in the spring and produce clusters of small, yellow, star-shaped flowers that emerge from the center of its rosette-shaped foliage. The contrast between the dark purple-black leaves and the bright yellow flowers creates a stunning display. The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, adding life and movement to your garden.

Being a winter-growing plant, the Aeonium arboreum enters a state of dormancy during the scorching hot summer; during this time, the older leaves simply curl towards their points of growth rather than falling off entirely, giving the appearance of a black rosebud that is about to bloom. It's like a little garden masterpiece!

When and How to Water Your Black Rose  

From fall through spring, during its active growing season, Aeonium 'Black Rose' should be watered every 7–10 days, only when the top 1-2 inches of soil is completely dry. This is when the plant is most active, producing new leaves and expanding its rosettes. If under-watered during the growing season, you may notice the stems shriveling and leaves slightly puckering, but they'll quickly bounce back once hydrated.

In the summer months, when the plant enters dormancy, watering is reduced drastically to every 2–4 weeks or less. Aeonium 'Black Rose' naturally slows its growth or temporarily halts it during hot summer weather, especially in warmer zones or indoor conditions.

The plant conserves moisture during this rest period, so watering too often can lead to leaf drop or root problems. Only water if the plant begins to look overly stressed or if the soil has been dry for a prolonged time, again, always check at least two inches deep before watering.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Black Rose Succulent 

When growing the black rose succulent indoors, it's important to provide it with bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. Keeping it in a well-lit area will help maintain the deep coloration of its leaves and promote healthy growth.

When grown outdoors, the black rose aeonium thrives in full sun to partial shade. In full sun, the foliage of this succulent turns almost black, which is why it's often referred to as the "Black Rose."

The intense sunlight brings out the deepest coloration in its leaves, creating a striking visual contrast. However, if you prefer a different look, placing it in partial shade will result in rosettes that display purple-reddish hues with a green center.

Remember, if your Aeonium 'Zwartkop' is exposed to too much direct sunlight and is not used to it, then there is a chance that the leaves might get damaged. It's critical to remember that during a heatwave or periods of extreme heat, your black rose succulent can get sunburned. You can protect the plant in this situation by moving it indoors or to a shaded area.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Aeonium zwartkop prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Aeonium succulent to thrive.

A small amount (5-10-5) of NPK fertilizer once a year in the spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a natural fertilizer ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your succulent some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive.  

Optimal Indoor Temperature & Humidity 

Aeonium 'Black Rose' thrives indoors at temperatures between 65–75°F with low to moderate humidity levels around 30–50%.

Keep your Aeonium away from cold drafts, heating vents, and sudden temperature changes. Place it near a bright window with indirect light, and ensure the space remains dry and airy to mimic its native Mediterranean-like climate.

Hardiness Zones & More

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-12.

They are not cold- or frost-tolerant, you should plant them indoors or put them in a pot.

Move them indoors during the winter if you live outside of these regions. 

As for humidity, this succulent is adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it's important to provide good air circulation to prevent any issues with excessive moisture or stagnant air.

Wildlife - Black Rose Succulent Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Black Rose Succulent is known to attract a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its vibrant blooms and sweet nectar. These pollinators play a crucial role in the plant's reproduction process by transferring pollen from one flower to another, ultimately helping the succulent thrive and produce seeds.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to the ASPCA, the Black Rose Succulent is non-toxic to humans and pets. It is safe to touch and is a popular choice for indoor houseplants due to its unique appearance and low maintenance requirements.

How to Propagate Your Black Rose Succulent

To propagate the black rose aeonium, one common method is through stem cutting. Simply take a healthy stem from the mature plants, making sure it is at least a few inches long. Allow the cutting to dry for a few days to form a callus, which helps prevent rotting. Then, plant the cutting in well-draining soil and keep it lightly moist until roots develop. With minimal water and full sun exposure requirements, this perennial is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance addition to their garden or indoor space.

Key Takeaways

  1. The Black Rose Succulentis famous for its dramatic, rosette-shaped foliage in deep burgundy to nearly black hues, making it a striking focal point in any garden or collection.
  2. In late winter to early spring, mature plants produce tall stalks with clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers, creating a striking contrast against the dark foliage.

Waste of money
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
This vacuum is a total let down. It cleans well enough however it has lost its network connection every month since I have owned it. Not only do I have to take 20 minutes to get it to finally reconnect, but it also wipes out the map that is stored. So I can’t clean until it re-maps the floor, I have to re-divide the rooms, and ultimately can’t clean for close to 2 hours when I need it most. Don’t waste your time with this unit unless you want to deal with network issues every month

Great Price, Great Quality, Save your money from other over priced Brands
I absolutely love this! Just as good as any of the more expensive brands! It has great cleaning abilities and is able to get in every corner and crevice. This quality is amazing and it has a mapping feature with a remote to set it up. Powerful suction, connects to the wifi easily and has a perfect spin rate so it doesn't miss a thing! My biggest issue is that I wasn't using it as much as I should! Make sure you set up a timer and it will take care of the rest!

Growing up with robots...
I'll spare you the obvious and only mention in passing that this is obviously a Roomba-wannabee. That aside, it turns out to be a pretty good R-wbee. Which is unsurprising since I combed through a couple of different comparison YouTube videos, both of which ranked this model near the top of their lists in the category of powerful vacuum robot on a budget. This lil sucker is indeed quite effective. I only have a carpeted bedroom, so it doesn't wander much, but it easily traverses even the bulged or steeped edges of my old burber carpeting. Like any such device, if you're going to leave it unattended, you will need to clear away any cords or other small debris (anything up to about popcorn size will just get vacuumed). I empty mine every other time I use it, and it's rarely brimming over. The only problems I've encountered have always been some kind of cordage or wire or string getting wrapped around the spinning scrubber unit--easily corrected. I'm very happy with the remote. I tend to use it mostly as a remote controlled vacuum device; ie, me lazily stalking behind it, using the remote to reverse it or to bring it back round for a second pass, til I'm satisfied. In addition to allowing N-S-E-W directions, you can also press and hold a direction button to make it speed up. You can also toggle between carpet and hardwood mode. The device charges pretty quickly and usually lets me get 2 to 3 large room sessions completed before displaying low battery. I will note that my kitten was a mere 3 months old when I got this device and she has literally grown up with it. It long ago stopped frightening her and now she regards this device as a friend and playmate to such an extent that I had to move the charging dock from a floor corner to a low dresser drawer--because when I left it out in the open, my cat would always manage to depress the big GO button and send it off partially charged, destined to tangle up my charging cables and neckties. So if you plan on letting your cat grow up with this robot, take precautions. I would definitely buy another one of these, and probably will. Recommended.

Jury is still out
Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed), Size: eufy L60 SES (renewed)
I really didn't want to purchase another Eufy product. I'm very mad at them because they're security doorbell cameras failing so readily (like a hardwired doorbell that stops working and gives me the input that there's no batteries even after we had it rewired.) And I caution everyone I am not a fan of their customer service anymore. Years ago it used to be fantastic. It is rare today, when you send in a request for help that anyone fully reads what your expressing. You get scripted answers or links to technical information that you've already told them in previous communications you've tried. Anyway... We have a dumber, earlier version of the Eufy vacuum cleaner that is about 5 years old --recently replaced the battery because I really love how well it draws up dirt and hair... Though the little chamber constantly gets jam-packed and the machine always gets stuck. I decided to move that one upstairs and get a smarter vac (only) and looked into several that could manage pet hair and that had good mapping and the ability to avoid scooping up toys etc. What I like is the software's easy (much friendlier than Narwal!). I think the mapping was perfect right out of the gate. Ease of splitting out larger areas into rooms is just wonderful. The on-screen guidance as you're using this software is mostly excellent. I really like how you can choose a setting that the vacuum will go to recharge and re-start itself back into motion to finish the job that wasn't finished when it went kaput. I like that you can choose the frequency of having the vacuum empty into the charging station. These two features that I just mentioned are a little bit hidden under settings. I think tabs would be nice for some pictures like this. I don't like that it only has one rotating brush. The older Eufy has two and I think it's a much better design to sweep things into the suction range. I like the quiet of this vacuum. The older version was quiet and this one is quieter yet. As a matter of fact it worries me because the difference in suction sound makes it seem as though it really isn't changing at all. I am not so sure the suction is as effective as It's been bragged about in its right up and in other reviews... it's actually gone over places on my carpet and it really didn't pull up all the fur. (That is in the video) I have also watched it go over small pieces of cardboard from a scratching post and it didn't pick it up... Again if the brush was there on that side it would have been pushed into the suction path better. I am not a fan of how it seems to not know how to avoid things. When setting up and getting ready to map your home with the LIDAR, the guidance is to take everything off the floor that is possible. Of course I put things back down like the tall cat toy that that has absolute presence, no different than a small cat --and the vacuum just runs right into it and starts pushing it...Our cat food bowls and water bowls just get pushed around. And the vacuum simply runs right into any toy and doesn't bother going around any of it so I would be sure you DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A CAT OR DOG THAT LEAVES MESSES ON THE FLOOR! Also on some things that were not picked up like the kitchen table, I don't get how come this vacuum just runs into it with full speed. Also it is very weird that it has a real problem transitioning to rugs. I have a leather throw rug that stays in place with people and animals going across it. But this machine's able to nose it up into the air and then get tangled in it. It means that when I have my schedule in place I have to roll up this carpet and my toilet carpets. As you can guess it's annoying. I also found it odd that when I'm trying to have it avoid going over something I will stand in place and despite the fact that it is vacuuming according to a grid it actually came back and circled and bumped into my feet five times before it finally gave up. What if that was an animal that was standing there? Would it bump into it also? There are reviews on here that are so much more detailed. All I can say is I tried a Roomba (returned it to store) and I tried the Narwal (The mapping was awful and I returned that one also.) I'm simply not wanting to return another vacuum. I do want to note that I purchased this one and accidentally ordered a 'used' model which means somebody else returned it. I have a feeling it has to do with this weird occasional click click click sound that makes it sound as though something is stuck in the rollers or something to that effect. Now that I finished muddling through this review I do know that this week I'll be getting in touch with Eufy. I can't help but wonder is this really the way this thing is supposed to be working. Oh, I did get the setup with the vacuum bag tower. As others have said it is extremely loud. The feature that reportedly cuts cat hair also has some volume to it, but for all its noise I don't think it really cuts but maybe 50% of the hair. I still have to manually clean the roll brush frequently. See photo.

Better than my new fancy robo
Great suction power. Doesn't get stuck often. I've had this vacuum for 5 years and it still works great. We got an AirRobo with a mop feature and demoted the Eufy to the basement. But, the eufy works way better and I frequently bring it upstairs to pre-clean before the AirRobo. Love this vacuum! Do you have a version with a mop?
