Adromischus cristatus var. schoenlandii
Adromischus schoenlandii
Adromischus are small leaved succulent shrublets. Their oddly shaped and interestingly marked leaves are their main attraction. They produce small, upright flowers. Adromischus flowers usually have a greenish-white tube and pink or reddish corolla. A. schoenlandii is distinguished by the apical horny margin narrower than the leaf width, plus glandular hairs on the inflorescence and flowers. It has few rosettes on short stems wrapped in a thick coat of reddish, tangled, wiry, hairlike aerial roots. It is quite variable.

Adromischus cristatus var. schoenlandii
Adromischus are small leaved succulent shrublets. Their oddly shaped and interestingly marked leaves are their main attraction. They produce small, upright flowers. Adromischus flowers usually have a greenish-white tube and pink or reddish corolla. A. schoenlandii is distinguished by the apical horny margin narrower than the leaf width, plus glandular hairs on the inflorescence and flowers. It has few rosettes on short stems wrapped in a thick coat of reddish, tangled, wiry, hairlike aerial roots. It is quite variable.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Adromischus flowers are generally small, with a greenish-white tube and pink or reddish corolla and produce sufficient nectar to start a fungal infection, especially towards the end of the growing season. As the flowers are not showy, many growers cut off the developing flower stems to avoid botrytis.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Adromischus require a free-draining gritty mix and plenty of sun. They are tolerant of cool, frost-free conditions during the winter if kept dry. Adromischus should be kept in a sunny position. Plant young plants in pots and keep indoors until they are well established. Plant outside only if they are offered frost protection through the winter months. Pot plants can be moved outside once all risk of frost has passed. They will not survive poor light or bad drainage in the wet.
