Adromischus is a large genus of succulent plants with around 30 species. Many sub species and cultivars are also available. Grown for the interesting foliage, they make great container plants and are generally easy care.
I would love if we could get an update on James and his fabulous adromischus! I bet we've gotten a lot of new and spectacular varieties in the past two years.
I grow about a dozen different Adromischus species and a few varieties but I’ve never seen many of the ones he is growing. It’s great to see that he is bringing more members of this genus into the marketplace. The fact that Adromischus are slow growing and a bit challenging and specific in their cultural requirements only adds to their allure.
Oh my I am so fascinated by all the rare plants you have. If only you sell on line. 😊I have never been to Australia but your nursery is making it a bucket list for me😀
Hello from Alberta, Canada! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us your knowledge and your amazing collection(s). I always take away new information. I am very proud of my smaller collection,( about 40 plants), and have many different varieties. I only have a few months of growing season outside, and then it’s every fall back into the heated, but chilly garage. I have been lucky to find a variety of cactus and succulents at a favourite greenhouse nearby. Again, thank you, and the fella that records these videos for us too!
This is so interesting and I’ve learned a lot, thanks to you and James. I only have 2 Adros: Cooperii and festivus. I honestly hadn’t realised they were so varied in form. (Edit: I should say, only 2 Adros at the moment... 🤫😉)
Thanks for sharing. I got 4 of these amazing plants last month. It was a real discovery for me as I had never seen them before. So, all information about how to take care of them is good to take 😀
I absolutely adored watching you’re video of Rare Succulents. Thank you for sharing. I will be watching over again. And hopefully I’ll be able to order the ones on my wish list. See you next time. ....🤗🌱🤗
The handmade pots are one offs. So you really have to look for them online from local makers. Try a search for succulent pots in your state... It's tricky as the pots are unlikely to be in shops as such....
What a beautiful collection but I am confused as to What I like the most your rare succulents or your beautiful pots they are both so beautiful out of this world thank you for sharing them
I love cacti and succulents and have started a nice collection. The really weird ones make me wonder if we have been visited by aliens who planted seeds over our planet. Some of them are so otherworldly.
Lithops are one of my favorites, now I have a new one. Especially the andromischus marinae? Would they grow successfully in Florida climate? Tropical? Thank you for posting. Hello from the US
You will need cool nights, and good air circulation. You should be able to grow them however, with the heat/humidity will need to be careful with watering.
I love Adromishcus and have a small collection of them. I tried to find the free download of the book with no avail. Would you show us the link for the download?
Would like to have a simple book with photo, list of mixer of each hawarthia, succulent, and others. Where we could get those Japanese pots. I am from Hawaii.
I couldn't quite here what the name of the bright spotted red plant was that you said was imported? I think you said something like frilly...lilycatus? Something like that?
The flowers are fairly insignificant so mostly they are cut off for looks. Some growers cut them off to help avoid fungal disease, however with good drainage and proper watering techniques this is not really needed. If you want seeds for propagation, you need to leave them.
Midges and Fungus Gnats usually lay eggs in damp soil, so overwatering or not letting the soil dry between waterings can cause them. If you can, try cutting back on water.. Another way is to use a fine pebble or crushed rock topping. The midges and fungus gnats don't usually lay eggs in this sort of topping. The only other solution is a pesticide, which we try to avoid.
