Product Information
Full details
The Carbeth Plants Echeveria agavoides 'Ebony' is an ideal choice for succulent enthusiasts and beginners alike who appreciate sculptural, architectural plant forms. Its primary benefit is its high-impact aesthetic provided by its dark, moody leaf margins and compact, slow-growing nature, which fits perfectly in small indoor spaces. However, prospective owners should be aware that the plant thrives best in very bright light and requires careful watering to avoid root rot, as the decorative pot shown in product photography is not included.

FAQs
Is the decorative pot included?
No, the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only.
How often should I water my Echeveria?
Water only when the soil has dried out completely. In summer this may be weekly, while in winter it may only be once a month.
What kind of soil do I need?
Use a specialized succulent or cactus potting mix that provides excellent drainage.
How much sunlight does it need?
It thrives in bright light, ideally near a sunny window that gets several hours of direct or very bright indirect sunlight.
Is this plant safe for pets?
While generally non-toxic, it is always recommended to keep plants out of reach of curious pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
Troubleshooting
Leaves look stretched or thin
The plant is likely light-deprived; move it to a brighter location, preferably a south-facing window.
Lower leaves turning mushy or yellow
This is a sign of overwatering; ensure your potting mix is well-draining and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your Echeveria 'Ebony', ensure it is planted in a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Because it comes in an 8.5cm nursery pot, you may choose to repot it into a slightly larger decorative vessel that features drainage holes. When watering, use the 'soak and dry' method: saturate the soil completely and then wait for the soil to dry out entirely before the next watering session. During winter, reduce watering significantly as the plant enters a dormant phase. Place the plant in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of bright light daily to ensure it keeps its compact shape.
