After Dark Succulents started in 2025, forming after a close knit group of cousins found a common love for succulents and once we started we became obsessed.
After finding our green thumbs and realising that life was better with succulents, green grass and bushy plants in our lives, we decided to put our creative heads together and make succulent garden arrangements. But we didn't just want to make any arrangements, we wanted something different, something that made a statement and something that was 100% unique and authentic. We want every arrangement we do to tell a story, a story that takes people on a journey with the use of Succulents.
Each piece we create has been personally handcrafted, ensuring quality workmanship, one of a kind pieces and above all individual uniqueness. Each arrangement creates a bit of magic and colour that brightens any and every space.
So join us by jumping into our world of Succulents and celebrate one leaf at a time.
Key Features of Echeveria:
Rosette shape: Leaves form a circular, flower-like pattern.
Fleshy leaves: Designed to store water, making them drought-tolerant.
Color variety: Leaves can be green, blue, purple, pink, or even reddish, depending on the species and sun exposure.
Low maintenance: Ideal for indoor and outdoor container gardening.
Flowers: They produce small, bell-shaped flowers on tall stalks, usually in spring or summer.
Key Features of Aeoniums:
Rosette Form: Like Echeverias, Aeoniums grow in rosettes, but their leaves are typically thinner and glossier.
Growth Habit: Many Aeoniums grow on branched, woody stems, forming small shrubs.
Some species are monocarpic — they die after flowering.
Leaf Texture: Generally waxy or glossy, with smooth edges.
Color Variations: Green, purple-black, burgundy, or variegated depending on the species.
Winter-growers: Active in cooler months.
Summer-dormant: Go semi-dormant or stop growing in hot, dry summers.
Key Features of Sedum:
Succulent Leaves: Thick, water-storing leaves that can be round, spiky, or flat.
Growth Habit: Some are low-growing, ground-cover types.
Others are upright, shrub-like perennials.
Colors: Green, blue-gray, red, burgundy, or variegated foliage depending on species and sunlight.
Flowers: Clusters of small star-shaped flowers in white, yellow, pink, or red — often attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Cold Hardy: Many sedums are tolerant of cold and frost, unlike some other succulents.
Key Features of Crassula:
Succulent Leaves: Thick, fleshy, and usually smooth; shapes vary from round to tubular to stacked.
Growth Habit: Ranges from small ground covers to upright shrubs and even bonsai-like trees.
Color: Usually green, but some species have red edges, silver tones, or variegated patterns.
Flowers: Tiny star-shaped flowers in white or pink, often blooming in winter or early spring.
Easy to Grow: Tolerant of neglect and adaptable to indoor or outdoor conditions.
Key Features of Kalanchoe:
Succulent Leaves: Fleshy, often scalloped or toothed. Some are fuzzy, others smooth or waxy.
Growth Habit: Can be compact and bushy, trailing, or tall and upright.
Flowers: Many varieties bloom with vivid clusters of small flowers in red, pink, orange, yellow, or white. These flowers can last for weeks.
Toxicity: Toxic to pets (especially cats and dogs) if ingested.
Key Features of Cacti:
Succulent Stems: Most cacti store water in thick, fleshy stems rather than leaves.
Spines: Modified leaves that help protect the plant from herbivores and reduce water loss.
Areoles: Unique to cacti, these are small, round bumps from which spines, flowers, or branches grow.
Flowers: Often large, colorful, and short-lived, cactus flowers can be stunning and are pollinated by insects, birds, or bats.
Adaptations: Cacti are extremely drought-tolerant and adapted to harsh, arid environments.
Key Features of Graptopetalum:
Rosette Shape: Most species form compact, symmetrical rosettes of fleshy leaves.
Leaf Texture: Leaves are thick, smooth, and often have a powdery coating (called "farina") that gives them a frosted look.
Colors: Typically found in soft tones like blue-gray, lavender, pink, or green—colors often intensify with sun exposure or stress (like drought or cold).
Growth Habit: Some grow as low clumps, others produce trailing stems that can spill over pots or walls.
Key Features of Haworthia:
Rosette Shape: Forms tight, low-growing rosettes.
Leaf Texture: Leaves are thick and fleshy, often with translucent "windows", white stripes, bumps, or warts.
Leaf Shape: Can be pointed, rounded, or flat-topped depending on the species.
Colors: Typically green, dark green, or gray-green, sometimes with white markings or translucent tips.
Flowers: Small, white or pale pink tubular flowers on long, thin stalks, though not especially showy.
Key Features of Senecio:
Leaf Forms: Often unusual—round, cylindrical, or bead-like.
Growth Habits: Can be upright, trailing, or sprawling. Many are popular in hanging baskets.
Color: Many have bluish-green, silver-gray, or powdery-coated foliage to reflect sunlight and conserve water.
Flowers: Daisy-like, typically yellow or white. Some are fragrant, but most succulent types flower modestly.
Key Features of Sempervivum:
Rosette Shape: Low-growing rosettes with tightly packed, pointed leaves.
Colors: Varies widely — green, red, burgundy, purple, gray, or variegated. Colors often intensify in cold or drought stress.
Offsets ("chicks"): Mother rosettes (the “hen”) produce smaller baby rosettes (the “chicks”) around the base.
Monocarpic: Each individual rosette dies after flowering, but not before producing many offsets to replace it.
Key Features of Portulacaria (especially P. afra):
Stems: Woody, reddish or purple stems that can become tree-like with age.
Leaves: Small, round, green or variegated succulent leaves.
Growth Habit: Can grow as a shrublike plant, ground cover, or bonsai.
Flowers: Small, pink, star-shaped flowers appear in ideal outdoor conditions (rare indoors).
Key Features of Pachyphytum:
Leaf Shape: Thick, rounded, often oval or spoon-shaped leaves that grow densely along the stems.
Color: Usually pale green, bluish, grayish, or pinkish with a powdery coating called farina, which gives them a soft, frosted appearance.
Growth Habit: Forms rosettes or clusters on woody stems; can be compact or sprawling.
Flowers: Small, bell-shaped, usually pink or red, appearing on slender stalks.
