Adromischus schuldtianus

I have not grown this plant. A. schuldtianus subsp. juttae in native habitat - Rare. Minimum Temperature: To 32°F.

Rounded, obovate leaves from a The rootstock is very thickened and the leaves are rounded and obovate. It can have yellow-streaked leaves. The variegation can be promoted by removing any all green leaves. New variegated plants can be propagated through leavecuttings. With most variegated plants, usually this is not possible .It is prone to rotting from the tuberous base or from dried inflorescences. As the plant matures, the center becomes bare. When it does, restart it from side cuttings and throw away the central part.

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.
