Echeveria ‘Dark Desire’ (Mensa)

Also sold as Echeveria Mensa' or Echeveria 'Neon Black Pride',

Echeveria 'Dark Desire' (or 'Mensa') has thick, fleshy leaves that shift between bluish-grey to deep purple, sometimes even showing hints of pink or lavender when given plenty of sunlight. It forms big, bold rosettes, making it a real eye-catcher in any collection.

Echeveria 'Dark Desire' thrives with the soak-and-dry method, meaning it needs a good watering followed by a complete drying-out before the next drink. It loves bright, indirect light but can also handle some direct sun, which brings out its stunning color variations. While it's happiest in warm climates, it can tolerate mild cold—just keep it away from frost. If you ever want more of these beauties, propagation is a breeze—simply take a leaf or cutting, let it root, and watch it grow. 

It's a low-maintenance plant that looks amazing in pots, rock gardens, or mixed succulent arrangements.

Display Picture plant IS NOT for sale, it is added to showcase the beauty or growth habit of the plant. 

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
