Adromischus cristatus is a type of succulent plant that belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is found only in the eastern cape of South Africa. It has short, upright branches covered in fine aerial roots and green to gray-green leaves with wavy edges. In the spring, it produces tall, narrow stalks with tubular white flowers tinged with red. This plant is also known as "Key Lime Pie" and "Crinkle Leaf Plant." To thrive, it needs bright light, good airflow, and well-draining soil. Watering should be done when the soil is dry, and less frequently in the winter. While it can withstand freezing temperatures, it should be protected from frost. It is suitable for USDA hardiness zone 10.
