On plant Aeonium arboreum rubrum

the blackness of the leaves is directly related to the amount of sunlight the plant receives - dim lighting, no sun, green leaves. Best stood outside during summer, then moved somewhere frost free for the winter, i.e., indoors. But still in sun if possible.

I keep mine out doors through the summer then bring them in just as the weather turns wintery and keep them in the unheated conservatory. I have had the same plant for 6 years now.
