Highlights
Aeonium arboreum 'Black Rose': Similar to Aeonium 'Zwartkop'. Dark tones, almost black with highlights of ruby red splashed throughout the leaves. If left to grow, the plant becomes quite tall, taking on a palm appearance. Good houseplant near sunny windows.
PLEASE NOTE: Leaves may curl or become bruised during shipping. They will recover with proper light and water and by growing and shedding old leaves. See photo examples:
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.

Yes you can! Although we don't sell pumice, it is a common product in garden or feed stores across the country.
You certainly can use it at the bottom of pots with drainage holes, but its effect would be redundant. In pots without drainage holes, pumice absorbs some excess water out of the soil. Putting pumice at the bottom of the pot pulls that moisture away from the roots. A drainage hole does the same job but better, as it allows the excess moisture to fully leave the soil.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GROW LIGHT
Light Output
- Lumens are the main measure of light output or brightness you should consider. Our eyes are not very objective when it comes to measuring brightness, so it's important to read a grow light's specifications before purchase.
- Select a grow light that provides 300 - 800 lumens per square foot.

They will if they're shipped with this Heat Pack. You can order just one and we'll include as many as necessary for your particular shipment. We recommend getting one if you expect high temperatures to dip below 40 degrees or low temperatures to dip below 25 degrees at any time in the next week. Plants tagged as [houseplants] in their title ship separately and automatically get free heat packs added when necessary.

Cactus, Agave, Aloe and most Crassula are going to be your work horses for this garden. They're beautiful plants and can survive in harsh sun and heat. However, due to spines or mild toxins, these plants don't tend to make good walk way plants. If your garden has a path running through it, you may want to plant these away from that path.
Some varieties that would work well near a path or an edge to your garden are Graptopetalum paraguaynse, Sedum rubrotinctum, and Portulacaria as they're more safe.

Click the link below to see our selection of plants that will grow well in zone 6!
I've also included zone 5 and 4 plants because they'd also grow well in zone 6. Most of this list will consist of hardy Sedum and Sempervivum, but there are some neat exceptions like Delosperma and Prometheum.

These are likely fungus gnats and they can be a real nuisance, but there are a few ways you can go about dealing with them. Please note, the best strategies for exterminating them deal with both the flying adults and the larval worms that live in the soil, so be sure to employ multiple treatments to ensure success.
1) Sticky traps. Grab a yellow index card and smear some honey or thick corn syrup over both surfaces. Suspend this card an inch above the soil your plant is in. The yellow color and sugary smell will attract the flying adults which will get stuck to the card (growing a carnivorous plant, like a sundew, near the infested plant will work as well).
2) 1.5% hydrogen peroxide. Buy hydrogen peroxide from any store where first aid supplies are sold. Usually, it's sold as 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then mix it in a 1:1 ratio with water, giving you 1.5% hydrogen peroxide. Water with this mixture instead of plain water. This will kill the soil dwelling larva. Be warned, hydrogen peroxide will turn into water and oxygen rapidly, in the presence of sunlight. Please keep this mixture out of sunlight until you… See full answer »
