Adromischus fallax

I have not grown this plant. In native habitat - Rare.
This Adromischus fills in rock cracks with its low green rosettes found on creeping stems. It grows to about to inches tall and has plump, paddle-shaped frosty green leaves with purple speckles. The whitish flowers are tubular with some reddish or dark mauve markings. A superb plant for a brightly lit windowsill or atrium. Protect from frost.


Note: Adromischus seeds are very small and seed propagation is rarely used. It is easily propagated by leaf cuttings. Twist off a leaf and permit it to dry out a couple of days, lay it on the soil and insert the stem end partially into the soil. The original leaf should not be removed until it has dried up. Try to keep the leaf somewhat upright so that the roots are able to grow downward. If grown in a container, bottom watering by immersing the container is recommended.
(Some growers state that A. fallax is more easily propagated by stem cuttings.)
