• Choose a pot with a drainage hole if you can’t limit the watering (outdoors). A pot with no drainage hole can be used as long as you water moderately. A pot with a hole tends to be more forgiving. Also, as it is slightly breathable, a terracotta pot is usually preferred over a plastic pot, but the succulents dont seem to mind too much.

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time.

Feeding

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September.

Ideal soil

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this. Adding extra grit may be useful to add even more drainage for these desert-dwellers.

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony'

Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' was originally found growing in Mexico by John Trager and Myron Kimnach, it was released in cultivation in the year 2000.

It quickly became one of the most sought-after Echeveria's around and became incredibly popular in Asia, with the price for just one plant costing well over £300.

They are notoriously slow to offset but easily one of the most beautiful and rewarding Echeveria's around, with their pale green-grey leaves set off by their almost black outer leaf margins.

They are stunningly beautiful and structural succulents that rarely encounter any problems with pests or diseases.

They make fantastic houseplants as they are so robust and easy to care for, just place them in a bright/sunny windowsill and water when the soil dries, feed with a liquid seaweed feed in the spring and summer. ‘Ebony’ loves our summers, so growing them outdoors in a pot in full sun will showcase their full potential.
