rose succulent plants for sale 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.

Great value - car rattle elimination
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
Well made, easy to cut to needed size and shape. I've used this stuff for years for a variety of needs, and bought this roll to match my new car's interior to eliminate and rattles from the junk I carry around in my console and dash compartment. Can't stand rattles! It works very well for the purpose.

Great Alternative Pet Use (Floor Traction)
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
I would definitely recommend these Grip Easy Shelf Liners - for an alternative use. We have a pet who struggles with mobility and slips on hard/smooth surfaces. We use this product as anti-slide mats to provide traction. While we also use rugs (etc.), these actually have a few unique benefits: - Customizable: They are made to be cut-to-size, so they can be adjusted for unusually shaped areas. - Waterproof (enough): Because they are rubber, they're great for use on the floor of the tub/shower for no-slip pet bathing - and can be rolled up for easy storage once dry. This also makes them easy to clean. - Travel-Friendly: They are thin, light, and soft enough to be rolled up tightly, making them great for travel. - Walking Paths: Because they are sold in long rolls, they can be used to create runways for commonly used grab paths (at far lower cost than carpet runners would be to cover the same area). - Low Cost: They are very cost-effective, making them easy options for trial (low-commitment to see if this works for you), seasonal, temporary (I wish we did this when my dog was recovering from knee surgery, for example), or supplemental use with additional solutions. So while I can't provide any information on how this product works for its intended use as a shelf/drawer liner, it works great for our alternate use case. I hope this information helps someone else!

Makes a great pad for an ergonomic keyboard and mouse
Color: Taupe, Size: 12-Inch x 20 Feet
After learning about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, I switched to a standing desk. I found an old, four-drawer desk once used for the production of a weekly newspaper. It is now a converted stand-up writing desk with a shiny, smooth lacquered finish. I love the desk and I'm adjusting to the switch of working from a standing position. One problem arose. My laptop keyboard and mouse wouldn't stay in place. As I typed, the keyboard would rattle and slide down the desk. A co-worker suggested I try . It works better than I expected. My Logitech Optical TrackMan Mouse and now stay in place. My keyboard is 11 inches wide, so the 12-inch wide material is a perfect fit. The liner is sticky, so much so that I have to hold the material down to lift the mouse from it. The liner left no residue on my desk. I used 30 inches of the material for a base beneath my ergonomic keyboard and mouse. I plan to change the liner as often as needed, since it will collect more dirt and dust than if it were stored in a drawer. That means I can replace my modified keyboard/mouse pad seven more times. Getting eight pads for $8.99 is a good value. Rating: Five stars. UPDATE: I received a question from another Amazon customer regarding my mouse. The features a large, finger-controlled trackball. A regular mouse would not work on the shelf liner but it is fantastic for trackballs.

Liner seems good, but releases strong fumes
Color: Taupe, Size: 12-Inch x 20 Feet
The liner is quite functional, it looks fine and is manufactured in a straight/square style (the other thicker foam style liner is not straight and is hard to cut square). The downside, with the 2 rolls that I got, is that the liner has a nasty off-gassing of fumes, so I suggest cutting it to size, and then putting it through a wash cycle (dishwasher or clothes washer) and then putting it in place after drying. If you don't do this, then those of you who are sensitive to these kinds of fumes, might have to unload the items and wash the liner at a later time. Many are oblivious and won't notice the fumes (at first or ever) and they just go on, never making the connection as to why their kitchen stinks, or they have headaches (or imagined allergies, etc.). It took me days to figure it out. If you have a new roll of the liner, just smell it, and realize that if you don't wash this material, those fumes will be leaching out into your cupboard for a while (perhaps longer). For those that can't smell it, then I guess you'll be quite happy about that. While the liner looks fine, and easily cuts square, I can't give this a higher rating as the washing effort adds so much effort to the process. More and more items produce these kinds of fumes and I think reviewers should mention this as part of their overall rating.
