Echeveria 'Ice Black Tea'
Echeveria 'Ice Black Tea' is an exceptional new hybrid succulent that offers an alluring blend of pastel blue-green and vibrant dark red hues. This visually arresting plant sets itself apart with a unique feature: its small, thick leaves, carefully arranged into a compact rosette, reveal tips and margins that undergo a dramatic colour transition.
Under normal conditions, the leaf tips and margins display a striking dark red tone, providing an attractive contrast to the soft blue-green body. However, when the plant is exposed to stronger sunlight or experiences stress, these red hues deepen, intensifying to a stunning mahogany red and eventually a captivating black.
This colour gradient, reminiscent of steeping tea leaves, gives the 'Ice Black Tea' its evocative name and sets it apart from other succulents. The plant’s dramatic response to environmental changes is not only a demonstration of its resilience but also a feature that continually reinvents its aesthetic appeal.
With a potential diameter of up to 12 cm, Echeveria 'Ice Black Tea' is a compact yet dynamic addition to any plant collection. Its enchanting colour transformations and tight rosette formation make it an intriguing focal point, whether displayed solo on a sunny windowsill or nestled among other succulents. Give it ample light, and it will reward you with its full colour spectacle.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
