How to grow Adromischus (water bubble succulents)? Pay attention to light, coolness and dryness

Adromischus succulents are generally succulents of the genus Adromischus in the Crassulaceae family. The care environment for Adromischus generally requires plenty of sunlight and a cool, dry environment. They tolerate partial shade, fear waterlogging, and dislike muggy, humid conditions. Most Adromischus have the habit of growing in the cool season and going dormant during summer heat. During the growing period of Adromischus, the soil needs to be kept moist, avoiding water accumulation. During summer heat, the plant grows slowly or stops completely. At this time, pay attention to shading and ventilation, control watering, give only a small amount of water, and just avoid the roots drying out completely.

How to grow Adromischus succulents

So for how to grow Adromischus succulents, it cannot be generalized; it needs to be based on the specific Adromischus variety. This article shares some care experience about Adromischus of the genus Adromischus in the Crassulaceae family with flower lovers, for their reference.

Let's first talk about soil, which is relatively important. As for soil, basically all varieties can use the same general mix, mainly focusing on breathability and drainage. This point is the same as for other Crassulaceae plants.

Next, let's talk about the care environment for Adromischus

Adromischus generally require plenty of sunlight and a cool, dry environment. They tolerate partial shade, fear waterlogging, and dislike muggy, humid conditions. Most Adromischus have the habit of growing in the cool season and going dormant during summer heat (some Adromischus varieties do not show obvious summer dormancy). During daily care, if there is insufficient light, the plant's leaves will become leggy, and the leaves will gradually become fragile; while plants grown in places with plenty of sunlight have a short, sturdy shape, and the leaves are arranged relatively compactly and are tougher.

During the growing period of Adromischus, the soil needs to be kept moist, avoiding water accumulation. During summer heat, the entire plant grows slowly or stops completely. At this time, there should be good ventilation and appropriate shading, avoiding exposure to strong sun, and watering should be restrained (if the soil is too dry, you can give a small amount of water slowly around the edge of the pot to get through midsummer, as long as the plant's root system is kept from drying out due to excessive dryness). It cannot be rained on for a long time, to avoid the plant rotting. Adromischus are not tolerant of low temperatures. Throughout winter, basically cut off water or give little water. Below 5 degrees, you should begin to gradually cut off water.

How do Adromischus propagate?

Adromischus propagation can be done bycuttings. Both stem cuttings and leaf cuttings are possible. Relatively speaking, it is still fairly simple. Leaf cuttings are slightly slower. Remove a complete, plump leaf, place it in a cool place to let the wound dry, then place it on soil. The soil should not be too wet; a little moisture is enough. It will slowly sprout and grow into a new plant.
