Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii
Adromischus marlothii
Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii is a dwarf creeping plant with lancolate green leaves arranged along prostrate reddish-brown stems from which they are easily detached giving a sparse distribution of leaves on old stems. The leaves may become 2 inches (5 cm) long and 0.4 inch (1 cm) in diameter at the center and may be sparingly spotted and can become reddened in full sun and with immature foliage. The stems produce numerous aerial roots along their length, rooting down into the substrate where they touch. The long, narrow flowers have brownish green cylindrical tubes with small pink corolla lobes flaring at the mouth.

Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii
Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii is a dwarf creeping plant with lancolate green leaves arranged along prostrate reddish-brown stems from which they are easily detached giving a sparse distribution of leaves on old stems. The leaves may become 2 inches (5 cm) long and 0.4 inch (1 cm) in diameter at the center and may be sparingly spotted and can become reddened in full sun and with immature foliage. The stems produce numerous aerial roots along their length, rooting down into the substrate where they touch. The long, narrow flowers have brownish green cylindrical tubes with small pink corolla lobes flaring at the mouth.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Adromischus flowers are generally small, with a greenish-white tube and pink or reddish corolla and produce sufficient nectar to start a fungal infection, especially towards the end of the growing season. As the flowers are not showy, many growers cut off the developing flower stems to avoid botrytis.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Adromischus require a free-draining gritty mix and plenty of sun. They are tolerant of cool, frost-free conditions during the winter if kept dry. Adromischus should be kept in a sunny position. Plant young plants in pots and keep indoors until they are well established. Plant outside only if they are offered frost protection through the winter months. Pot plants can be moved outside once all risk of frost has passed. They will not survive poor light or bad drainage in the wet.
