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.

Great product, great price!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These toner pads have been amazing for my skin! They leave my face feeling incredibly smooth, refreshed, and clean, and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in texture and overall glow. I especially love using them while removing my makeup because they make my skin feel extra fresh and clean afterward. I do notice they leave a slight semi-dry/tight feeling on my skin at first, but once I rinse and apply moisturizer, my skin feels absolutely amazing — soft, balanced, and hydrated. The pads are well soaked, easy to use, and make my skincare routine feel so much more effective. I’ll definitely continue using them! I also feel they work just as great and are not as over priced as so many others out there.

They really do work!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I rarely give reviews that aren’t motivated by disappointment, but this is one of them. Medicube makes several products that I use alongside $170 serums and creams, and the Zero Pore Pad is one of them. I love the dual texture, and even after using a pre-cleanser and a “microfolient” face wash (both expensive washes from by Dermologica), the Zero Pore Pad is my ONLY choice for a toner. Compared to the products that go on after using the pads, the pads are incredibly affordable for the results I’ve seen. On the rougher side of the pad, this toner still somehow finds pockets of sebum that are visible on the pad after using as directed. It’s like magic. I’m on my third container of Zero Pore Pads and I can say, without a doubt, they have had noticeable results on my skin, mostly on my nose and the cheek area around my nose. The size of my pores are now smaller, almost invisible. This is despite the fact that I layer a bunch of serums, creams and a moisturizer at night that I lock in with the peel-off Medicube collagen mask. Despite the weight of it all on my pores, the pads still have worked, and they aren’t harsh like some toners-but if you have very sensitive skin or are on acne medication, go with their milder sister product). I wash my face three times a day due to the ick of polluted air and layers of moisturizer and sunscreen, so I’ve been using these three times a day, but occasionally I use the Koji and Tumeric Pads, which have had no noticeable effect aside from serving as a basic toner. The application is lovely on all Medicube’s pads with their dual texture, but like the collagen mask these Zero Pore Pads really do work (for me). Because skin varies with age and melanin content, I am a pale white woman (female at birth) of Scandinavian descent so I don’t know if these would have had the same impact on me at age 17, but now they work, really well. I literally have the glass skin K-beauty prizes—I just used the pads and thought I had something on my face because my skin was shining. I love these, try them!

Good toner pad option
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I like these to use no more than 1-2x a week for my skin. I use them before bed and wake up noticing smoother and more event toned skin. If you use them too often, they can cause redness and irritation, but I have never gotten a rash or a breakout because of them. I will say, they do not exfoliate all your texture away and refine your pores to perfection like the marketing says, but nothing does. The AHA and BHA are the chemical exfoliants and work just like they do in any other product. The pads are very moist and stay saturated in the container as long as you keep the lid shut. Overall, a good toner pad option to be used occasionally in your routine and do not mix with any other actives.

Refreshing Exfoliating Pads for Smoother Skin
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These exfoliating pads leave the skin feeling noticeably smoother and cleaner after use. They work especially well for oily or combination skin types that struggle with excess sebum, clogged pores, or uneven texture. I like that the formula combines both natural BHA from white willow bark and AHA ingredients for gentle exfoliation without feeling overly harsh. The pads help remove buildup and excess oil while making pores appear cleaner and more refined over time. The lavender scent adds a calming and spa-like feel to the skincare routine, and the pads feel soothing instead of irritating during use. The dual-sided design is also helpful since the textured side provides exfoliation while the softer side helps smooth and prep the skin afterward. Another nice feature is how convenient and quick they are to use after cleansing, especially for busy routines or nighttime skincare. Minor note: People with very sensitive skin may want to start using them a few times a week first before increasing frequency. Overall, a refreshing and effective exfoliating pad that helps improve skin texture, reduce excess oil, and leave the skin feeling clean and balanced.

Ive been ordering these for years now
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these toner pads twice a day and they’ve worked really well for my skin. Since using them consistently, my acne has stayed under control much better than before. The pads feel gentle and don’t irritate my skin at all. I also like how convenient they are compared to using separate toner and cotton pads. My skin feels cleaner and smoother after each use. The container stays sealed well so the pads don’t dry out quickly. Overall, these have become a staple in my skincare routine.
