Adromischus subdistichus

I have not grown this plant. The plain, green, small, flat leaves arranged distichously when young. The leaves can become edged in burgandy and have burgandy tones. It is highly clustering and produces short, thin inflorescences. It has deep pink and very flared flowers. This species is one of the earliest to bloom. It is one of the easier species to cultivate.

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.
