Adromischus Species, Calico Hearts

this species is one of the easier Adromischus species tolerating some frost and growing fairly happily in my abusive watering situation (...Read Morea lot some days, none for weeks). I have one growing in full sun and though the color doesn't look so good that way, the plant seems fine (and it gets HOT here- 110F). Fairly slow growing plant.

This plant is fairly slow at growing. But it has managed to hang in there for me.

It does not like full sunlight. I found...Read More that out when I noticed that it was starting to lift its leaves straight up in an attempt to reduce available surface area. Also the speckling turned a deep maroon (but I didn't notice any immediate damage).

All in all, it has been an interesting plant with nice squatty disposition.

Known to me as Calico Hearts. This has been a slow grower for me, but I have not managed to kill it yet! It got sunburned earlier this s...Read Moreummer when I moved it to midday sun, so I do not recommend full sun for this succulent. Water less in winter but do not allow it to shrivel. Takes more water than cacti. The plant I have grew from a single leaf stuck in sandy soil.
