How to Care for and Cultivate Echeveria affinis cv. Black Knight

The knight has always been a symbol of nobility, and the Echeveria affinis cv. Black Knight succulent is no exception. Its mysterious black color and slender leaves resemble a knight's lance, giving it high ornamental value. In terms of care, Echeveria affinis cv. Black Knight is relatively easy to maintain. During its growing seasons in spring and autumn, it thrives with ample sunlight. The more light it receives, the longer and narrower its leaves become, with sharp tips and a deep, elegant black color. However, with insufficient light, the plant's leaves tend to spread out and become leggy, and their color turns green.


During the spring and autumn growing seasons, you can water the plant thoroughly once the soil is about 70-80% dry. Avoid letting the soil remain completely dry for too long. If the leaves become soft and wrinkled, this is a sign of dehydration. During the rainy season, avoid prolonged exposure to rain to prevent waterlogging, which can cause the leaves to rot. In summer, provide shade and only allow a small amount of direct sunlight.
