Sinocrassula yunnanensis Napoli Noire is a rare dark succulent from the stonecrop family, native to the mountainous regions of China. It grows indoors year-round and adapts well to heated, dry air found in most homes.
The rosettes are burgundy-black to nearly black, forming tight geometric clusters that stay compact at 2-3 inches across. Each leaf has a glossy, almost metallic finish with deep purple-black tones that intensify under bright light. Over time, it develops dense sculptural forms as the clusters expand.
White to pale pink, star-shaped flower spikes emerge from the center of mature rosettes during spring. It tolerates dry heated air exceptionally well in various indoor environments.
You can leave it up to ten days without water. Move it outside for summer if you choose, but it needs cover from rain to prevent root rot. Keep it on high shelves away from cats and dogs, which shouldn't nibble the leaves.
