About Adromischus Cooperi

Adromischus cooperi is a Crassulaceae succulent, originally from South Africa. They are short and compact, with taupe stems. The leaves are shovel-shaped, the upper portion of the leaves is slightly wider and flat, and the top edge has wrinkles on it. It has a glabrous and shiny epidermis, and its leaves have purple-brown spots that are more visible in bright light.

How to care for Adromischus Cooperi

Sun/Location: The succulent prefers full sun and a cool, dry environment. Semi-shade is also acceptable, but too much shade inhibits the growth.

Soil/Pot: Potting soil can be mixed with vermiculite, coarse sand, or perlite. Grass ash and rotten bone meal can further improve the quality of the soil. It should be planted in small and shallow pots, and change the potting soil every 1 to 2 years.

Watering: Adromischus Cooperi grows slower in the summer when it's hot, so water them moderately. A proper watering schedule, once per week should be followed in winter to keep the soil moderately moist. During the growing season, it is vital to water the live succulent when the top layer of the potting soil is dehydrated. Otherwise, the plant is likely to rot.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.
