Euphorbia neurobella (Red Monadenium)

A striking and unusual succulent, Euphorbia neurobella is admired for its thick, sculptural stems and rich reddish tones that intensify in bright light. Its knobbly, textured surface gives it a bold, almost otherworldly appearance, making it a standout piece in any collection. During its growing season, it produces small, delicate flowers that add subtle charm to its rugged form.

Perfect for collectors looking for something different, this plant thrives in warm, bright conditions with well-draining soil and light watering.

Euphorbia neurobella was once classified under the genus Monadenium, which is why it’s still commonly known as “Red Monadenium” among collectors.

Echeveria ‘Malgan Black Swan’

A striking collector’s Echeveria prized for its beautifully shaped rosette and dramatic colouring. Its thick, pointed leaves develop attractive shades of grey-green, mauve, deep purple and burgundy, with the colours becoming richer under bright light and cooler conditions. The powdery coating on the leaves gives the plant an elegant, almost frosted appearance.

Care: Grow in bright light with some morning sun for the best colour and compact growth. Plant in a very well-draining succulent mix and water thoroughly only once the soil has dried. Protect from prolonged heavy rain and extreme afternoon heat.

Interesting fact: The dramatic dark colouring can change considerably throughout the year, making every season slightly different.

A beautiful and unusual must-have for Echeveria and rare succulent collectors.
