Genus guide
Adromischus — 9 species
Adromischus is a genus of compact South African succulents in the Crassulaceae family, valued for their plump, patterned leaves. Adromischus cristatus (Key Lime Pie), A. cooperi (Plover Eggs), and their relatives develop distinctive mottled or wavy-edged foliage that deepens in colour under good light. Place in a bright sunny spot with several hours of direct sun, and water using the soak-and-dry method, reducing to once monthly in winter. Toxicity varies across the genus — verify the specific species with your vet before bringing one home if you have cats or dogs.
