Adromischus marianae, commonly known as the 'Marianae's Adromischus,' is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is known for its unique, warty, and often reddish leaves. This plant is well-suited to arid environments and has a dormancy period during the winter months.
Adromischus marianae requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
土壤
This plant prefers well-draining soil, such as a sandy or gritty mix. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's health. A cactus or succulent soil mix is ideal.
肥料
Adromischus marianae benefits from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 2-4-4. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season, typically once a month, and avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.
换盆
Repot Adromischus marianae every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.
