What are some black plants?
For many girls, there are black plants and four beautiful black plant recommendations for green plants and flowers. The following is an introduction for you.
Huahua has a good friend who, influenced by her family, started growing flowers since childhood. But after seeing dozens of years of green plants and various strange flowers and herbs, she really doesn't want to grow green plants anymore.
So she struck out on her own, starting her own journey of growing "black plants." Although called black plants, they are only visually close to black. Most of these flowers are dark red or deep purple, but they look black from a distance. Based on her years of experience in growing flowers, she has managed to grow these plants well and is very enthusiastic about it.
Her friend works in Shanghai and doesn't often live with her parents. Once, her mom came from her hometown to visit her and help out, worried that her daughter might not take care of herself well in the big city. The friend bought a lot of food and cleaned the house spotlessly. However, when her mom entered the door and saw the dark plants on the windowsill, her face darkened just like the black plants: "What is this! Black plants are unlucky and have bad meanings. Be careful, they might bring bad luck!" The friend explained over and over again that these flowers were carefully managed and looked very beautiful, but her mom wouldn't listen.
Raising black plants is a trap. Once you get into it, you'll love it and can't let go. Let's see which "black plants" her friend has grown!
I. Black Priest
Black Priest is one of the most common types of black plants in homes. It belongs to the succulent family of Crassulaceae, with leaves like lotus flowers. The plant, with a stem and rhizome, can grow to about 1 meter tall. Black Priest has many varieties, not just round leaves but also尖锐-pointed leaves.
Black Priest is a winter-growing succulent, so it's important to provide shade during the hot summer temperatures and not let its leaves be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise, they will become soft and droop. Black Priest is prone to leaf spot disease, which is difficult to detect. When checking the leaves, you must be careful and remove any diseased leaves.

II. Black Prince
Black Prince also belongs to the succulent family of Crassulaceae and is a common type of succulent. It looks similar to Black Priest, especially when both have purple-black colors, making it even harder to distinguish.
However, the leaf color of Black Prince changes with the amount of light. When there's insufficient light, the leaves gradually turn green, showing a dark green color, and when there's plenty of light, they slowly turn red. It can even bloom flowers in summer. The leaves of Black Prince look more like stonecrop leaves and can be grown singly or in a pot with multiple heads.
III. Black Rose
Black Rose is not actually a rose but a type of Chinese rose. Many flower shops use another more mysterious name for it—Black Magic or Black Beauty, which are the two main varieties of Black Rose.
