€15,90
🌱 Morphology
Compact horticultural hybrid that forms dense rosettes approximately 8–12 cm in diameter and reaches about 10–15 cm in height. Its leaves are thick, fleshy, triangular, and end in a pronounced point. They display very dark grey-green shades, charcoal grey, and, under certain lighting conditions, almost black purple hues. The coloration intensifies with abundant light, while a lack of light can cause more open and less compact growth. Its dark and sculptural appearance contrasts especially well with succulents in silver or light tones.
🌍 Distribution, habitat and family

❄️ Temperature
