Aeonium 'Short Black'

Short Black: Dark Aeonium Rosettes with Seasonal Color

Aeonium 'Short Black' develops branching stems topped by dark-toned rosettes. The leaves can shift from greener shades in cooler growth periods to purple and near-black tones in stronger light.

• 🖤 Dark foliage: Deep colors provide contrast with pale succulents.
• 🌿 Branching outline: Rosettes gather at the ends of the stems.
• 🎨 Seasonal changes: Color varies naturally with light and growing conditions.

Choose Short Black for a bold accent in a bright, sheltered container.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright light and introduce direct sun gradually. Offer afternoon shade in intense summer heat.

Water: Water when the soil has dried, then drain thoroughly. Reduce watering if hot summer weather pauses growth, and during cool, inactive periods.

Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.

Temperature: Protect from frost and freezing weather; bring containers under cover before cold conditions arrive.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.

Weather Conditions

• When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
