Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.

Overwatering is the most common cause of death for this succulent.

Pruning is generally minimal for Adromischus cristatus. Remove any dead or damaged leaves as they appear. If the plant becomes leggy, you can prune back stems to encourage a more compact growth habit.

Cuttings can be used for propagation.

Propagated easily from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

You can also divide established clumps during repotting.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix specifically for succulents. Choose a pot with drainage holes. Repot in spring before active growth begins.

Handle gently to avoid damaging roots.
