Echeveria ‘Black Prince’ Succulent, 4-Inch Pot

Echeveria ‘Black Prince’ forms a striking rosette of pointed, fleshy leaves in deep burgundy-purple tones with a contrasting green center. Its dark foliage adds depth beside lighter succulents, while a compact shape suits a bright windowsill or well-drained container display. Color varies with light, season, and growing conditions.

Points of interest

• Dark burgundy-purple outer leaves and greener new growth at the center.
• Pointed leaves arranged in a geometric rosette.
• Offsets may develop over time, but their presence is not guaranteed.
• Foliage can appear greener in weaker light; introduce stronger sun gradually.

Current and mature size

You receive one rooted plant in a 4-inch plastic nursery pot. The source listing describes representative rosettes approximately 3–4 inches across; each living plant varies in size, color, and fullness. Mature rosettes can reach approximately 5–6 inches across under suitable conditions, with additional spread if offsets develop.

Decorative pots and accessories shown in styled photos are not included and are sold separately.

Care guide

• Light: Provide bright light with suitable direct sun. Introduce stronger sunlight gradually after shipping to prevent scorch. Indoors, choose your brightest suitable window or supplemental grow lighting. Protect from harsh afternoon sun during extreme heat.
• Water: Let the potting mix dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow excess to drain. Water the soil rather than pooling water in the rosette. Never leave the pot standing in water, and reduce watering during cool weather or slow growth.
• Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent mix and a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Succulent & Cactus Soil Blend, sold separately. Avoid heavy soil and enclosed humid terrariums.
• Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, feed with a slow-release fertilizer. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents for steady nutrition for cacti and succulents. Skip feeding while growth is paused, extreme heat or cold. Fertilizer is sold separately; follow its label and avoid overfeeding.
• Temperature and outdoor placement: Protect from frost and sudden temperature extremes. Outdoor suitability depends on local conditions; shelter from prolonged wet weather and provide airflow.
• Maintenance: Remove fully dried lower leaves gently and handle foliage sparingly. Repot when roots or offsets outgrow the container, using fresh, fast-draining mix and a modestly larger pot with drainage.

Pet safety: Echeveria is generally considered non-toxic to pets.
