Introducing the Adromischus cristatus, known as the crinkle leaf plant, which is a unique and visually striking succulent. Native to South Africa, it is a stunning member of the Adromischus, opens in a new tab genus, and is also known as a key lime pie succulent or ravioli plant. This plant is beloved by succulent enthusiasts for its distinctive crinkled leaves and compact growth habit. 

The crinkle leaf plant gets its common name, key lime pie plant, due to the resemblance of its leaves to the crinkled texture of a key lime pie. The leaves have unique ruffled edges that give them a crinkled appearance, similar to the crust of a pie.  


The Adromischus cristatus plant features thick, fleshy leaves that are green in color and are covered in tiny hairs. The leaves grow in a rosette formation and have pointed tips.

This slow-growing plant has a compact growth habit, making it suitable for small spaces such as windowsills or tabletops.

When fully grown, the crinkle leaf plant has a tall stem that can grow up to 6 inches tall and 8 inches wide. It is relatively small and compact, making it an ideal choice for indoor gardening or small succulent arrangements.

The flowers of Adromischus cristatus are small and tubular and can vary in color from pale pink to white. The flowers emerge on tall, slender stalks that rise above the foliage. While the blooms are not the main attraction of this plant, they add a delicate touch to its overall appearance.  

Propagation of the crinkle leaf plant can be done through stem or leaf cuttings. Simply take a healthy leaf or stem cuttings, then allow it to dry and callous for a few days. Then, plant it in well-drained soil and keep it lightly moist until the roots emerge. The plant can also produce offsets, which can be separated and planted individually to grow into new plants. Additionally, using a rooting hormone can help speed up the process of root development for quicker growth. 

Watering Needs 

To properly water your crinkle leaf plant, it's essential to follow a "soak and dry" method. This means thoroughly watering the plant until water drains out of the bottom of the pot and then allowing the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it's crucial to avoid keeping the soil consistently moist. 

The frequency of watering can vary depending on factors such as the temperature, humidity, and the type of potting mix used. In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water your Adromischus cristatus every 7-10 days. However, always check the moisture level of the soil before watering to ensure it has dried out sufficiently. 

During the dormant period in fall and winter, the crinkle leaf plant requires less frequent watering. Reduce the watering frequency to once every 2-3 weeks or when the soil has completely dried out. Remember, it's better to underwater than to overwater succulents, as they can withstand periods of drought better than excessive moisture. 

Light Requirements 

When grown indoors, the crinkle leaf plants prefer bright, indirect light for at least six hours. Find a spot near a window where it can receive a good amount of filtered sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. If you notice the leaves stretching or leaning towards the light source, it's an indication that it needs more light. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

When growing outdoors, it's important to acclimate it gradually to prevent sunburn. Start by placing it in a partially shaded area and gradually increase the exposure to full sun over a few weeks. Outdoors, your Adromischus cristatus can tolerate more direct sunlight than when kept indoors. However, it's still essential to provide some shade during the hottest parts of the day, especially in regions with intense sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is key to the crinkle leaf plant's well-being. Whether indoors or outdoors, aim for bright, indirect light and make adjustments based on the plant's response. With proper lighting, your Adromischus cristatus will flourish and showcase its unique crinkled leaves for you to enjoy. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Adromischus cristatus favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing, Adromischus cristatus doesn't require heavy feeding. During the spring growing season, you can apply a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. This means using half the recommended dosage on the fertilizer packaging. Apply the diluted fertilizer once a year to provide a gentle nutrient boost. 

During the dormant period in fall and winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. Succulents, including the crinkle leaf plant, naturally slow down their growth during this time, so they don't need as much nutrition. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive growth and weak stems, so it's better to err on the side of caution and skip the fertilizer during the dormant season. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the crinkle leaf plant is well-suited to average warm temperatures between 65-75°F. It can tolerate slightly freezing temperatures down to 55°F but may suffer damage if exposed to frost or cold hardy temperatures. It's best to keep the plant away from drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations, such as near air conditioning vents or heaters. 

For outdoor cultivation, it is generally hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. This means it can tolerate mild to warm climates where the average minimum temperatures. If you live in a colder region, you can still enjoy this plant by keeping it indoors or in containers that can be brought indoors during winter. 

The Adromischus cristatus is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can thrive in typical indoor humidity, which is usually around 40-60%. If your home tends to be very dry, especially during winter months, you can increase humidity around the plant by placing a tray filled with water and pebbles nearby or using a humidifier. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Adromischus cristatus (Crinkle leaf plant or key lime pie plant) is a fascinating succulent with its crinkled leaves and compact growth habit. Its unique appearance, resembling the texture of a key lime pie, adds to its charm. This plant is native to the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa and thrives in well-draining soil. It stays relatively small, making it perfect for indoor gardening or small spaces. Taking care of the crinkle leaf plant involves providing it with bright, indirect light, occasional watering, and well-draining soil. With a little love and attention, this stunning succulent will thrive in your home or garden.

Smells soooo good!
Oh my gosh guys! This soap smells soooo good! I have tried a few different bars and none of them were great. A lot of citrusy smelling soaps. I'm not a citrus fan. But this one? Amazing! I walk in to my bathroom a good 12 hours after my shower and the whole room smells so fresh and clean. Never has my bathroom smelled like a bar of soap unless someone just stepped out of the shower. I would buy this scent as a room sray, wax melt, candle, body mist, lotion - I'd buy it all! I typically gravitate to fresh clean scents like "clean linen" and this is great! As a bonus it is a super awesome exfoliater. Jury is still out on bumps - I only got it a few days ago, but I have high hopes. I will update my review if anything changes. (If you are on the fence just buy it!)

EATS OIL TO SMOOTH YOUR FACE
Scent: Rose, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
GET THIS!! here's what i've experienced with this item for the past week, and what i understand about about how well this item is working and will work based on what i've previously learned/experienced after heavy use of clay masks (successfully) in the past. THIS WILL RESTORE YOUR SKIN TO PERFECT TEXTURE (no 'large pores' at all). I'M SO EXCITED. i've been using used the kojic orange bar for a long while to try to even out damaged skin tone after overuse of clinique's face brush, which bar worked until it kinda didn't (even tho i can still leave it on til it burns a bit), so now am doing the lavender bar for morning/shower + this red tube before bed. i've used them both for a week and i am beyond excited about this red tube. this creamy product eats a ton of oil out of your pores. you'll still have the same texture of clogged pores afterward but only the color of skin instead of dark dots (since the dirt is only on top, as clean oil is always coming up from the bottom of your pores). eventually, deeply cleaning our your pores WILL eliminate 'large pores' and smooth out the texture of your skin (explained below). first, getting out so much oil that the dark dots are gone after a couple of nightly uses is definitive evidence that it's getting MORE OIL than other products. some other products MAY be getting out MORE than our daily accumulation, and so will also work EVENTUALLY -- but this is FASTER. specifically, my cheeks get clean but my nose still has dots - but i'm confident this'll catch up to digging out all the dirty oil in my nose as well. SO -- i'm sure that deep-cleaning all the dirt out of pores so there are no colored dots anymore is what they mean by 'brightening'... BUT... thoroughly cleaning out clogged pores (so deep that there's no dirt) will eventually smooth out skin texture cos the pores will eventually empty completely and then just shrink small/closed/smooth (like a baby again!). i previously experienced this progress after heavy use of queen helene's clay mask. my chinks literally shrank within 2 weeks. my pores looked the same, but the curve of my cheeks just flattened into my face. it was completely wild to see. when i applied mask mud, the oil in the pores of my nose and cheeks would actually soak dots into the otherwise dry & cracked mask so i had to pack the clay on so thick that it'd take so long to dry that i'd just take a nap for a over an hour, like every night for no more than 2 weeks. i was house/dog-sitting and had nothing better to do. and then my cheeks shrank. anyway, masks are boring and time consuming (and i did them so much that i still never feel any itchiness anymore) so i satisfied myself with progress without actually finishing my skin to perfectly smooth again -- given that actors in movies do close-ups that show terribly clogged pores anyway. THIS STUFF is way easier and quicker and less uncomfortable than a mask. you only need a small amount, maybe the size of two peas, and when you rub it on your cheeks it expands into a thickness that looks like clown makeup. no joke. the more you rub it, the thicker it gets - so i just keep going til i'm super white (and rubbing it up into my forehead) and then just rinse it off with my hands. my cheek pores look like SKIN. no colored dots at all, just texture. my nose still has dark dots but i'm sure that will also clean out eventually, too. HERE'S HOW IT WILL SMOOTH OUT YOUR SKIN -- after this cleaner, i use a toner (clinique) to tighten my pores to help narrow their newly emptied space against just filling back up again. without toner, i think the pores will still naturally close somewhat on their own. i think the closing of emptied pores (with or without toner) must also press the remaining oil closer to the surface into the empty space (given that it doesn't want it there in the first place) cos there's pressure where there's oil, and no pressure where there's no oil... i mean, using clay masks caused my cheeks to shrink altogether instead of, like, ending up with deep permanent empty needle tunnels into pores that stayed wide after the oil was eaten. my cheeks shrank cos the remaining oil moved up to the top (so my pores looked the same). forreal, your pores really don't want to be so swollen with oil that the skin in your face between the pores is literally pressed up into squishy pillows on the surface of your face. so this product with 'brighten' your face by removing the dark dots of dirt at the top of your pores, which is SO MUCH OIL that your face will press oil up to the top to be deep-cleaned again -- til eventually your pores close entirely and you have baby skin again. use an effective skin-tightening toner for even faster results. so my plan is to just keep deeply cleaning out the top oil with this stuff, tightening the empty skin with toner, and letting my skin keep pushing more oil up to be deep-cleaned by this great stuff the next night. i'm sure eventually it'll get to my nose, i might even start doing clay masks again. GET THIS STUFF!!
