Adromischus cristatus 'Purple Skin'
One of the most colorful and fun adromischus! The leaves have so many purple spots that they tend to cover the leaf solidly. The leaf edge stands out as a wavy light green border. New leaves show different shades as they grow in. Really love this one.

Adromischus
is a charming genus of small succulents in the Crassulaceae (Stonecrop) family, prized by collectors for their unique, often colorful, and textured leaves. Native to South Africa and Namibia, these slow-growing plants are easy to propagate and thrive in compact spaces, making them perfect for windowsills or small greenhouses. Their thick leaves range from cylindrical to spoon-shaped and develop a woody caudex with age, adding to their appeal. While their slender tubular flowers are modest, the foliage steals the spotlight, with vibrant colors and markings that shine brightest in high light. Adromischus plants prefer gritty, well-draining soil and benefit from careful watering to avoid fungal issues. Propagation is delightfully simple—many species grow new plants from a single leaf. Though rare and sometimes challenging to find, these compact succulents are a joy to collect and care for.
