Add a striking, gothic touch to your indoor garden with Sinocrassula yunnanensis 'Black'. Often called the Chinese Jade or Black Sea Urchin, this rare succulent features densely packed, spiky, near-black rosettes that create a beautiful textural contrast in any space. It is a stunning, slow-growing, and low-maintenance choice for collectors and beginners alike. Key Features Striking Foliage: Tiny, pointed, deep green leaves take on an eerie, near-black coloration and velvety silver hairs when exposed to bright, direct sunlight. Compact Form: Forms tight, ball-like rosettes that grow in small, clumping colonies. Pet-Safe: Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a worry-free windowsill houseplant. Beautiful Blooms: Produces contrasting white flowers on deep red stems during the warmer months. Care Instructions Light: Requires bright, indirect light to full sun. More direct sunlight will result in darker, more vivid black coloring. Water: Highly drought-tolerant. Use the "soak and dry" method, watering thoroughly and allowing the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Do not let the plant sit in standing water to prevent root and leaf rot. Soil: Plant in well-draining, gritty succulent soil or cactus mix. Temperature: Protect from hard frosts; best kept above freezing. Specifications Scientific Name: Sinocrassula yunnanensis (Chinese Jade) Plant Type: Evergreen Succulent Mature Size: Under 3-5 inches tall and wide Hardiness Zones: USDA Zones 8-10 Please note: Due to its unique and delicate foliage, some leaves may detach during transit. Simply place any fallen leaves on top of well-drained soil, and they can propagate into new rosettes!
