Adromischus festivus
check_circle In Stock
Adromischus festivus is a small succulent native to South Africa, occurring in rocky, arid regions where it grows among stones and gravelly soils. It forms clusters of short stems with fleshy, triangular leaves that are grey-green to brownish, often patterned with irregular darker markings. The leaves may take on reddish tones in strong light or under seasonal stress. Mature plants produce slender flower spikes carrying small, tubular flowers that are greenish to whitish with purple tips. Its compact size and leaf patterning make it well suited to container culture and collections of miniature succulents.
Care Tips
- Light: Bright light to full sun enhances leaf markings and maintains compact growth.
- Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry fully between applications; reduce watering during the cooler months.
- Media: Requires a very gritty, free-draining mix to prevent root and stem rot.
- Fertiliser: Apply a diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season for healthy foliage and flowering.
- Temperature: Best in warm, dry conditions; protect from frost and extended periods of dampness.
- Repotting: Repot every few years to renew soil and manage clumping; propagation is straightforward from detached leaves after callusing.
