aeonium succulent plants 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.

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.

Amazing Wallet!
This is a great wallet. I searched through many styles with similar features, but most did not have the pull down side lever to lift the cards. That feature is exactly why I chose this one. The leather feels high quality and not cheap at all. It is very durable. The money clip is extremely tight and holds cash securely with no risk of anything slipping out. I also wanted a wallet that still opens to display a driver’s license and daily use cards while remaining slim, and this one checks every box. It is compact but holds a surprising amount. My husband absolutely loves it and he is very picky about wallets. There are multiple slots not only for cards but also for holding papers or notes. There is even an additional slot behind the money clip for extra storage. The pull down button smoothly lifts all the cards at once and fans them out so each card is visible and easy to grab. I was unsure how this mechanism would work at first, but the cards are slightly staggered just enough to clearly see each one. You simply grab the card you want and push the stack back down into the wallet. We chose the carbon black version and it is sleek, lightweight, and looks very sharp. My husband mentioned it needs a little breaking in due to the quality construction, but it is still easy to access everything he needs and stays compact, which was most important to him. It also comes in a very nice black gift box with fitted foam that securely holds the wallet, making it perfect for gifting or safe storage before use. I highly recommend this wallet. For the price, it cannot be beaten. I searched extensively for the best option at a fair price point, and this one easily compares to wallets that cost close to or even over $100.

Almost Perfect - Compact, Strong Magnet, Minor Card Access Issue
Color: Alaska Black, Style: Standard Wallet, Color: Alaska Black, Style: Standard Wallet
This is hands down the best wallet I’ve ever had. I love how compact it is while still holding quite a bit. On the front, it holds two cards, although I find the thumb slot a little short — it doesn’t extend the second card enough, so you have to dig a bit to get it out. The inside card holder (the non-window one) is also a bit tight. The magnet that holds the bifold together is very strong. The first section of the wallet (the bifold) holds three cards — two outside with the thumb groove and one inside. I have metal cards in all three slots, so it adds a little extra weight, but the magnet still holds firmly and stays aligned. The main section has a window for IDs. I keep two IDs and my insurance card there, and even with it being packed, the magnet still holds strong. One small downside: the window isn’t deep enough to fully show my ID, cutting off the date of birth at the bottom. I have to push my license up a bit, which looks a little goofy, but since I rarely need my ID, it’s not a big issue. When I do need it, I can at least show it without taking it out. The main compartment easily holds 6–8 cards. I’m currently maxed out at 7 cards, including 2 metal ones, and they all have flat surfaces. The push-up button slides smoothly even with the extra weight, and all the cards pop up as they should. The money clip is very secure too. I haven’t fully tested its limits, but it held a single bill in place without any issues, and right now I have 10 folded bills in there with no problem. Overall: I love this wallet. It’s compact, easy to access, and for the most part, the cards are very easy to grab.
