Echeveria 'Black Knight'

echeveria

Product Image
An especially dark form of the very variable Echeveria affinis that forms rosettes of purple-black, slightly lance-shaped leaves. The new growth in the centre of ‘Black Knight’ rosettes provides a bright green contrast to the dark outer leaves. In late summer and autumn, this perennial, tender succulent produces colourful, coral-red urn- to bell-shaped blooms atop slender, arching stalks.

How to care for Echeveria Black Knight:

Echeverias are low-maintenance succulents that thrive with minimal attention, making them ideal for pots. For best results, plant them in a gritty, well-draining compost mix, ideally in an unglazed pot with generous drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

When planting, only water if the soil is completely dry. Once established, water sparingly and only when needed, taking care to avoid getting water into the central rosette, as this can cause rot. Keep the plant in a warm, even environment and handle gently, as the leaves are delicate and easily damaged.
