Adromischus Triflorus Physical Characteristics

This succulent varies significantly in shape and form depending on its location. However, some distinct physical characteristics can help you identify the plant. Its short stems lie the prostate on the pottage, and they are branched on the base, meaning the plant has more than one stem. The leaves come in various shapes; some intersect in an X-shape, while others are vertically erect.

The foliage in some plants may appear like an upside-down triangle. Whatever their shapes, they always leave an average of 7cm in length and 2.5 cm in width. Their margins are serrated. Leaf color is usually grey-green, which can change to greyish brown depending on the level of your succulent’s exposure to the sun. You are likely to find small waxy dots on some of the leaves.

It produces grey-green to yellowish-green flowers. These flowers grow on an inflorescence of 25-35 cm tall.

Adromischus Triflorus Plant Care

Watering this plant is easy, just the way you water other succulents. The soil should be moist but not soaked. The soak-and-dry method is the best approach. Also, it is important to note that this plant has decumbent stems, and its leaves and stems are likely to have covered the pottage.

It is always advisable to avoid wetting the leaves because humidity makes them vulnerable to fungal infections and rot. It is, therefore, advisable to avoid overhead watering and soak the pot in a tub of water and allow the soil to soak for a while. That way, your leaves will remain dry. Avoid watering in winter, its dormancy period.

It grows best under bright light, whether direct or indirect. Too little sunlight keeps the plant from growing healthy. You can give it additional feeds moderately during its growing season.
