About Aeonium Arboreum Rosa Negra Arbol
Aeonium Arboreum Rosa Negra Arbol, of the Crassulaceae family, originates in Canary Islands and North Africa and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It stands out for terminal rosettes on long stalks, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we grow every Aeonium Arboreum Rosa Negra Arbol directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. It’s the difference between a succulent grown under real sun and a greenhouse one — and it shows in shape, color and longevity.
