Luxurious to the touch, dramatic in appearance. ‘Black Velvet’ is the botanical equivalent of a villain’s signature cloak—dark, mysterious, and utterly intoxicating. Beware that it is on the harder side to care for. It requires bright, indirect sunlight as well as soil that is constantly moist from watering.
Very sensitive to the cold!
