aeonium black rose succulent plant Shop 'Black Rose Succulent - Aeonium Zwartkop' Care and InfoIntroducing 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.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

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.

Key Takeaways

  1. The Black Rose Succulentis famous for its dramatic, rosette-shaped foliage in deep burgundy to nearly black hues, making it a striking focal point in any garden or collection.
  2. In late winter to early spring, mature plants produce tall stalks with clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers, creating a striking contrast against the dark foliage.
  3. Aeonium ‘Zwartkop’ is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or low-maintenance gardening.
  4. This winter-growing perennial, enters dormancy during hot summers, with older leaves curling towards growth points, resembling a black rosebud about to bloom.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Aeonium zwartkop (black rose) is a unique and elegant succulent that can be a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space. Its dark foliage adds elegance and can be easily cared for with bright, indirect light indoors or full sun to partial shade outdoors. Keep your black rose aeonium away from cold, drafty windows and air vents if you are growing them indoors in a cold climate. The plant's distinctive black foliage or vibrant purple-reddish hues make it a standout in any garden or indoor decor. Its rosette-shaped leaves and compact growth habit add visual interest and can be a conversation starter.

Simple, Powerful Blower
Received the blower as expected in a timely manner. Have only used it for one day but pleasantly surprised. It is heavier but easily outperforms my previous corded blower. This is a large, simple, seriously powerful blower. No vacuum attachments, bags, etc. IMO the power is similar to gas powered units. Mine had a variable speed control which is very nice and for the power level it is unexpectedly quiet. Only one possible con to note, it is a 12A motor so a good heavy gauge extension cord is needed, especially for long runs.

Good power
INITIAL REVIEW: Advertising: The blower looks exactly as it does in the photos (despite the cheesy photo shopped images). I do not have any special equipment to test the 600CFM claim, but it seems pretty powerful from what I've tested thus far. All the features, which I'll go into further detail below, are also exactly as described. Shipping & Item condition: Arrived on time in a large box and in good working condition with no damaging. Price: $45.93 - Pretty reasonable considering the competition can reach upwards of a few hundred dollars. Build Quality/Durability: This blower is made from durable hard plastics. It makes it pretty lightweight when you're holding it at your side and sweeping from side to side. The listing states that it's 6.4 pounds and it certainly feels about that weight. I was able to use it for 10-20 minutes and not experience any fatigue unless i was trying to lift it up. This is just an initial review, so time will tell if it will withstand multiple years of use. Performance: Holy cow does this thing blow! (and I mean that in the good way). There is quite a bit of force that is exerted. So much so, that it surprised me when I turned it on the first time and noticed the "kick" on my hand. It's somewhat loud, so I'd recommend wearing ear protection if you're going to be using it for long periods of time. That being said, I've owned vacuums and small blowers that have just about the same amount of loudness, so I'd place this on par. I'm glad that I opted for the corded version instead of the battery one. Sure the cords are annoying, but I feel that the battery wouldn't last long due to the output it requires. That being said, I don't have an overly huge lawn, so an extension cord works just fine for me. If you've got a much bigger area to cover, I would consider a gas-powered blower. I simply don't trust the battery-powered blowers would last long enough for you, and the cords could be quite the hassle if you're having to walk pretty far out. Design/Features: I like that the nozzle has a large opening rather than a small one. I feel like that does a better job and pushing the leaves and grass out of the way than one that has a more concentrated area (despite the fact that it would exert more force). I also use it to blow out the dust and dirt from my garage. That saves me a ton of time vs having to sweep and kick up dust everywhere. I haven't tried using it to dry my car yet, but I'd imagine that it would work pretty well for that application. A feature I love is the quick and easy dial that you can use to adjust the outputting force. Sometimes I want to blow it at maximum speed to get all the grass clippings off the driveway, and other times I want to simply clean off a chair or something light without having to lift it up into space. The cord retainer is a nice feature. Without it, I found myself accidentally unplugging my extension cord quite a bit. A small touch, but the handle is angled upward, so when you're holding your arm down in a relaxed position, the blower is angled in the opposite direction (downward) which is nice. I don't need to "push" the blower down at an angle, thus causing forearm strain. I don't use it, but I like that the nozzle can be removed for more compact storage if need-be. Lastly, I'd say that I honestly just plain like the way it looks. It's cool that you can see the turbine working through the transparent orange plastic area, and it has a nice color scheme and graphics. Overall: I'm pretty impressed thus far. This guy is cheap, light, and powerful. It's fun to use. So much so that I find myself looking for leaves to blow, or dirt to move out of the way just so I can spend more time with it. I would definitely recommend this blower if you have a small to average sized yard. 1-year UPDATE: I've had this leaf blower for over a year now, and it still performs fantastically. It makes quick work of my grass and leaf clippings and doesn't mess around. It's one of the better products in my lawn care maintenance line-up, so I still highly recommend!

Very good, low budget blower.
For the price, this blower is very good. I had a WORX blower and mulcher, previously, that worked well, but this blower does the one thing better. I do miss the mulcher, but not the extra weight. This stand-alone blower is about 3 pounds lighter and more powerful; though, the all-in-one had more precise airflow, for the few small spots that it was beneficial for me. The build quality is so-so on this blower. It lacks what we all appreciate in our tools and devices—that sharp snap and click and clean fit when putting the pieces together. The hose attaches to the body with an imperfect and never fully flush connection. It's not going to go anywhere—it does have a latch. The pieces are not as rugged and solid as my previous WORX all-in-one, but I can guess that's what helps reduce the weight. Speaking of, I had considered the WORX WG547, cordless blower, for the weight reduction and convenience of no cord, but I was concerned with loss of power, limited usage time, and higher cost. After using this WG520 for the first time, I do desire a lighter machine, but I think I would miss the extra power and limitless usage time. If budget was not an issue, I probably would've gone with the WG546—which is a step up from the cordless WG547 I was considering—with an extra battery; but that is 3-4 times the cost of this WG520. But even that blower could not match the power of this one. It's worth noting that that power comes from a large air intake on the back that can suck in loose clothing. Cost was the number one priority for me; so I was pleasantly surprised when I found that on this low-budget machine there are variable speeds, ranging between the low to high speeds. If cost is the number one priority for you as well, without having to lose too much power capability, I can easily recommend this WG520 WORX blower.

Buy this one, forget the rest
This is one of the most powerful handheld electric blowers available. If you're serious about getting the job done quickly, this is the baseline. The next power tier is a gas backpack blower at five times the cost, then an even more powerful backpack, and then four-digit specialty tools from companies like Billy Goat. I bought the Worx because I didn't want to spend three hours raking a half-acre of grass. My trial run was an hour of continuous use with matted wet leaves and driveway sand. It fast became apparent that to be efficient, a blower has to move leaves without being on top of them. Blowing from six inches just makes everything scatter as piles build up. You end up crisscrossing the section you just cleared to deal with the strays. The further your breeze carries, the more direct the flight path of the leaves. This range, and the ability to scour stubborn leaves from the ground, comes from air speed (MPH). At the same time, though, you need a big enough wall of air to move more than one leaf at once. That comes from the size of your pipe opening. The two multiplied together determine your total air volume over a duration, or CFM (cubic feet per minute). In physics-land (with spherical cows and turbulence-free pipes, spared from the icy hand of marketing), CFM is the best measure of a blower's work capacity. MPH, you can change by varying the size of the pipe; a smaller pipe makes a smaller column of air moving at a faster speed (and more impressive advertising), which is why a lot of consumer-class blowers have tiny nozzles. (I'm looking at you, Sun Joe SBJ601E.) But there's a cost to adding MPH: it kills efficiency. The energy to move a volume of air goes up with the square of speed, so if you design your blower for 160 MPH, you'll get half the CFM of a 110 MPH blower from the same power. Something to mull if the blower is powered by a battery. Still, if you know either speed or CFM, and the size of the pipe, you can calculate the other (assuming the manufacturer isn't misleading you by quoting CFM at the fan and MPH at the end of the pipe). To get CFM from MPH and the radius of a round pipe, the calculation is (radius^2)*(mph)*(1.92). That's (1.69^2)(110)(1.92) for this blower's 110 MPH and 3 3/8" pipe, with the result arriving right at the rated number of 600 CFM. Anyway, the Worx has enough volume and speed to blow mounds of wet leaves from six feet and dry ones from ten or more. It's impressively powerful. I was switching arms every few minutes as they wore out from the backward force. Only some really baked-on mud would have benefited from a pipe-reducer attachment. Thanks to ape-like proportions or the secure fit of my spandex leaf-blowing onesie, clothing suction from the rear-directed air intake hasn't been a bother. ALTERNATIVES: I almost bought Toro's highly-rated "Ultra" combination blower to minimize bagging, but the vacuum functionality didn't seem that useful in videos. Maybe it'd be adequate to clean an enclosed deck area or a small yard with a scattering of dry leaves. For a larger yard, it looks like a time sink relative to a standalone mulcher. Likewise the blowing capacity, which, at 410 CFM, trails the Worx by quite a lot. Cordless tools were also tempting. There's a 20V DeWalt people seem to like that's rated at (a perhaps optimistic) 400 CFM. Because it's a similar fan design to the Worx, we can compare power directly. DeWalt's standard battery is 20V (or so we'll stipulate; it's closer to 18V under load) and 5 amp-hours, so we're looking at 100 watt-hours total output. 15 minutes of runtime translates to a sustained draw, best case, of 400W. Assuming 90% efficiency in the brushless motor, that's 360W actually moving air. (When new. Expect a performance drop over time and battery replacements by year three.) Compare this Worx: 12 amps at 120V equates to 1440 watts sustained, in this case feeding a 2-pole AC/DC motor that's perhaps 55% efficient. 12A is close to the maximum a device can reasonably expect from a typical 15A household socket. Even with nearly half of our power lost to heat and noise, the remaining 790W is over double what the DeWalt can manage. It's no coincidence that 600 CFM cordless blowers (Greenworks and Kobalt come to mind) have 80V/2.5Ah batteries with twice the DeWalt's capacity. Their runtime at full tilt? The same fifteen minutes, with three extra pounds to lug around from a chunk of lithium that costs more than the blower it attaches to. And what of gas blowers? The handheld versions have around 1 HP with CFM from 450 to 500. They're usually tuned for higher MPH than the Worx, so they're likely to be a little better with wet leaves and a little worse with dry ones. Backpack blowers up the displacement and make between 1.5 and 5 horsepower. The models that you might find on the back of a professional landscaper can manage nearly 1000 CFM with speeds around 200 MPH. That's a considerable difference, but you pay for it at the checkout and in weight: figure 10 pounds or so for a handheld (relative to 7ish for this unit, plus some cord) and 20 or more for a backpack. As of mid-2020, two other corded blowers are worth a hard look: Toro's F700 and Worx's WG521. The Toro arrived first in 2019 with a hefty 720 CFM rating, a bigger two-arm handle, and a better cord retention mechanism. The WG521 is the response: 800 CFM and 135 MPH (claimed) from a ~4" nozzle, albeit still intended for one arm. All three blowers are beastly and often close in price; pick whichever best channels your inner Tim Allen. ACCESSORIES: A motor this powerful benefits from a thick (low gauge) cord for longer runs. You lose a bit of performance with thinner cord. The generic orange 50-foot extension everyone has is 16-gauge. Feeding a 12A load for 50 feet, it'll have a voltage drop of about 5V. Heavier 14-gauge loses 2.5V on the same run, and industrial 12-gauge, only 1.5V. The scale is linear, so if you double up that 16-gauge cord for a 100-foot run, you'll lop off 10V. How's that play out here? From a short and fat cable (that the cheesy plastic strain-relief piece won't actually accommodate; just tie an overhand knot over the two plugs instead), we'd expect a 1440W draw (12A * 120V, or a bit less because the house wiring itself has some drop). Losing 5V drops the total to 1380W. That's about what I found when I tested the Worx with a watt meter. 12ag / 3 ft = 1423W 14ag / 100 ft = 1352W 16ag / 50 ft = 1351W 16ag / 50 ft + 14ag / 100 ft = 1280W With the progressive thumb dial at the lowest setting, minimum draw was 260W. For shorter runs, disconnect extensions you don't actively need. Every cable sheds a percentage of the energy it carries to heat. As above, skinny cables lose more. Coiled on the ground and coupled with a high-load device like the Worx, they can build up enough heat to start melting insulation, which tends to cause sheepish expressions and insurance claims. This blower is also loud enough to merit hearing protection. On an A-weighted scale (approximating human hearing), measured outdoors from three feet, it makes 82 dB on low and 91 dB on high. Indoors or near a wall, volume jumps by 10 dB and subjectively doubles. While the sound character emulates a vacuum, my Shark only measures 72 dB indoors; you'd have to run over a rat's nest of lamp cords to make one this loud. Amazon has a number of comfortable muffs for less than a Jackson that'll keep your ears intact. You can find electric blowers with more toys, but few that'll get the job done as fast as this one. It's a bargain at the asking price. I'll update if I catch any reliability problems.
