Echeveria agavoides 'Dark Green' is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky, arid regions of Mexico. It evolved to grow well in bright light and dry conditions, making it naturally adaptable to indoor and outdoor environments.
'Dark Green' forms a tight, symmetrical rosette with sharply pointed, glossy leaves arranged in an upright growth style. The foliage is deep green with translucent leaf tips, creating a compact and tidy shape.
It produces slender stalks topped with coral-to-red blooms, typically appearing in spring or early summer when the plant experiences a nighttime temperature drop. Cooler nights trigger flowering, so moving it outdoors in summer or into a cooler room in autumn can encourage those flower spikes to appear.
'Dark Green' tolerates dry air and heated indoor environments. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It is cat and dog friendly. Move it outside in summer on a patio or in a garden bed, provided you keep it covered from rain to prevent root rot.
