I have not grown this plant. (many variations dependent upon growing conditions in habitat). It forms clusters that have thick, finger-like silvery green tapered leaves. Some variations have deltoid leaves. Often the leaves have reddish speckles that tend to become more intense in bright light; however, sometimes the leaves are devoid of spots. Protect from frost (Minimum temperature To 32°F)

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.

Pale blue-green fat succulent leaved low growing plant- good for pots or very open, neat xeriscape gardens (gets lost in crowded ones). Can take more water than you would think without rotting, but recommend water carefully anyway.
