Description

succulents and roses 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.

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.

So good we bought another
Color: Red
We spend a lot of time in Baja California, and rough, unpaved roads result in lots of tire punctures. Having a decent air compressor is therefore "necessary equipment". This unit inflates tires reasonably quickly, automatically displays the pressure in the tire before you set the desired inflation pressure, and shuts off automatically when the desired pressure is reached. The display is easy to read. The short, detachable hose is easily attached and removed, and stores in the bag with the pump. The hose length works for most common automobile tires, and will work for oversize tires by rotating the wheel to bring the valve stem closer to the ground. Attachment to the valve stem is easily accomplished with its lever-lock working end. The unit can additionally function as a battery booster for starting a vehicle with a low battery. Installation of the cable for that purpose is easily done, and it worked just fine when we had to use it on one of our two vehicles one morning, allowing the car to be started quickly and easily. Charging is accomplished with a standard USB charging cable (USB-A style at one end, and USB-C style connector at the other end). We had a puncture that required the pump to be used multiple times to get the 12 miles back to a tire repair shop. We could charge the pump up easily and quite quickly via the vehicle's USB port, stopping every few miles to pump the tire back up enough to keep going on the highway without having to go through the trouble of unloading the trunk to change the tire for the "doughnut" spare at the side of the road. Having those two experiences just shortly after we received the pump was more than enough proof that we should have another for our other car. I'd recommend it for its small, easily stowable size, good battery capacity and ease of use.

It works and I’m happy!
Color: Red
This item is terrific! A bit noisy but it’s compact and works like a charm. Inflates my tire quickly. I have not used it to jump start my car, but I’m convinced it would work just fine. Great price too!

Good thing to keep in your trunk
Color: Red
This has been a pretty helpful thing to have in the car. My tires have been losing pressure recently and this helps keep them topped off while I wait to change my tires. It's easy to use and the value for the price is great. The main issue is that it seems to need a full charge in order to jump a car because I had issues using it to jump my car when half charge, but no issues at full. Also the cable lengths are a bit short.

Worked like a charm to jump start my Mazda
Color: Red
My Mazda CX-30 wouldn't start one day. I knew these rechargeable jump starters were a thing so I jumped on Amazon and got this one same day. Worked like a charm! Inside the main unit is basically a giant power bank. It charges with a USB-C in, which is awesome and universally available. It even has a USB-A out port to charge another device. I charged it up to full when I first got it, even though it already had some juice in it and I *think* you'd be able to get an emergency jump right out of the box if you needed to. The directions are simple. Plug the battery clamps into the box, then clamp them onto your battery. A green light tells you that it's ready to go. Press the BOOST button, then go into your car and start it up with in 30 seconds. Then remove the clamps and away you go. No sparks, no scary sounds, no worries. I jumped it twice and it still had enough charge for possibly a few more. Other great emergency features: the tire inflator has programmable pressure. The light is nice and bright and stays steady for a flashlight or blinks for emergency. And I already mentioned the USB out for charging another device. This is a great, indispensable emergency device for anyone's car. I'm glad I got it and I'll make sure it stays charged in my glove box.

Great for emergencies !!
Color: Red
This GOOLOO A3 jump starter is super handy to have in the car. It started my vehicle quickly with no issues, and it’s really easy to use. The built-in air compressor is a big plus. It fills tires fast, and I like that you can set the pressure and it shuts off automatically. It’s compact, holds a charge well, and feels solid. Definitely a great all-in-one emergency tool. Highly recommend!
