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.

Nice amplifier for the cost.
Style: Stereo Receiver, Configuration: Receiver
I had been using my Marantz model 22 receiver now for a couple years now with the TV, dvd player, and youtube music from my tablet. I like lots of knots and switches on my audio gear, I'm an engineer. I was getting tired of the seemingly endless up and down to adjust volume and whatever. And my inputs on the Marantz were maxed out. I searched Amazon to see what was available as a possible replacement that had a REMOTE. This Sony caught my eye. Relatively inexpensive, plenty of inputs, and specs I could trust, not a 3x4x5 box offering 220+220 watts of unlimited power! Ordered it and been using it for over a month now. Only 2 knobs, how good could that be? Well, it's remote let's me control everything without getting up. Plenty of output power, 100+100 watts of true RMS power. I didn't plan on using the Bluetooth but I tried it with the tablet, keeping the tablet by me, and it really impressed this old audiophile. I really don't have any negatives about it, even the fm sounds great. It was heavier than expected but not as much as that old Marantz. I even popped the cover. The build quality was what I consider good. I only wish I could find a service manual with the schematic for it.

Great Banana Plugs
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
I recently purchased these FosPower banana plugs to tidy up my speaker wiring, and they’ve been a significant improvement over bare wire ends. Installation is straightforward: strip the wire, loosen the two tiny set screws, slide the wire in, tighten everything down, and then screw the barrel back on. Once assembled, the connection feels secure and tight, making it much easier to swap gear around and reducing the risk of stray strands causing a short. The standout feature of this design is the dual set-screw clamp. It firmly grips the speaker wire without relying on the outer collar to “crush” it in place. I’m using 12-gauge wire, and it holds well for my setup. Initially, the plugs may fit snugly in some binding posts. Once seated, there’s no wobble, but it might take a bit of extra push the first time. The set screws are small, so a bit of precision is needed. Use a small flathead screwdriver and don’t over-tighten them. Overall, these plugs feel well-made, look clean once installed, and fulfill their purpose as banana plugs: making speaker connections quick, neat, and reliable.

Great Banana Plugs!
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
These FosPower banana plugs work very well. I have used dozens of these great FosPower banana plugs over the years, and they definitely work as advertised. When comparing apples to apples (or bananas in this case....lol), all Banana plugs work virtually the same way, and these banana plugs are no different. Strip speaker wire, unscrew banana plug cover, loosen speaker wire retaining screw(s), insert speaker wire, tighten speaker wire retaining screw(s), screw on banana plug cover, and wallah, a secure/conductive speaker/amplifier wire connector is created. Albeit, some banana plugs require the speaker wire to be splayed over a hollow post, and then they are held down by a screw-on retainer/cover. However, I much prefer these FosPower dual retaining screw type of banana plugs for their speaker wire holding ability. I always use high quality 14 gauge OFC speaker wire with these FosPower banana plugs, and they work perfectly together. I have used these FosPower banana plugs with many different speaker and amplifier brands over the years, including Klipsch, Pioneer, Polk, Denon, Dayton Audio, and Fosi with no problems at all. They just work, and work well. I have never had a FosPower banana plug break, release the speaker wire or short out, in all of the years that I have used them. Yes, these FosPower banana plugs do fit rather tightly into the connectors, at first, on a lot of speaker and amplifier brands/models. However, after the initial "squeeze" the banana plugs will lossen up, and become easier to install and remove. However, they still retain their great holding ability even after the initial squeeze. In order to overcome this initial "tightness," I usually just stick the FosPower banana plugs into a connector of an old portable amplifier, before assembling them, in order to squeeze them before inserting them into their final speaker or amplifier destinations. This is especially useful when working in tight places, where there is not much room to work in order to push the FosPower banana plugs into their tight connections firmly. Overall, I highly recommend these FosPower banana plugs. I am currently using them all over the house and shop for home theater and music listening (and testing projects). Just be aware of the tight fit in some speakers and amplifiers. Also, the 2 very tiny speaker wire retaining screws can be a challenge sometimes. Just use a good standard blade jewelers screwdriver, and be careful not to remove the retaining screws all of the way or over-tighten them. Once these things are mastered, using these FosPower banana plugs becomes second nature. Have fun!

The most legit banana plugs I could find on Amazon
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs, Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
NEW PREFACE:: I am kind of glad I first bought the horribly magnetic, horribly made and GOLD PAINTED Sewell crimp on plugs (some reviewers say that Sewell are better and easier to use than the FosPower, which is true in design, but in quality of materials FosPower beats them hands down!!) ... Changing from those to these FosPower plugs plus the Monoprice 90° plugs, I am flabbergasted at the difference they make in sound quality. I have heard people say that they can hear the difference and even as an audiophile I was skeptical..... but my skepticism has been completely erased by what I am hearing with my own ears. I waited a few days to make sure I wasn’t just tripping before updating this review 🤣....but it has become clear to me how much a difference plugs made from the right materials actually make!!! I am 100% serious that the bass coming out of my Polk Signature Series tower speakers has at least doubled at the same volume. I can also now turn the volume up Way past my max volume before, without any distortion and much more clarity and less harsh highs. Everything just sounds warmer in general now which is amazing!!!! This is dangerous info for me... because now I’m thinking about making some really nice custom wires to see how much of a difference that makes 🙄🙄🤣 OK onto the review of the actual plugs here~~ These seem like decent connectors. I can’t tell if they are brass or copper, but they only have a slight hint of a magnetic property when testing them with a very powerful magnet. I was easily able to fit x2 - 14ga wires into it for bi-wiring purposes, including screwing on the collar. (As seen in my example pic) The gold plating on the tips seems legit and not painted like some of the plugs from Sewell... I have tested and tried quite a few plugs from Amazon and most seem to be crap. These however hold up better than most! These and the Monoprice 90° banana plugs with the black and red rubber sleeves. The latter are gold plated copper and have zero magnetic properties. (if you need 90° banana plugs) UPDATE: still the best plugs I have found, but upon full install found two issues. One is a defect where a set of the plug threads for the barrel cover body weren’t cut right. The body’s do not tighten and stay loose because of that. Obvious issue for vibration with metal on metal... The other issue is that even though these say they can fit different gauge wires, they seem to be geared more towards 12 or 10 gauge. I am using semi solid strand 14 gauge and find that unless I fold the wire over to make it double thick, the bolts use up all the thread and seem to become kind of loose inside the body. They won’t fully seat and keep spinning no matter how much you tighten. They seem to stay secure still but I just wonder about longevity over time with vibrations. So I just doubled up the wire and they seated fine! Not the worst issue in the world, but just kind of a pain since you have to strip the wire longer than you normally would so you can fold it over. ANOTHER UPDATE: I had to remove these plugs from the wire to connect them to a crappy spring terminal amp while my better amp was in the shop. The issue I wrote about with the set screws "bottoming out" on smaller gauge wire became a more pronounced issue! I could not unscrew the set screws anymore and just had to cut the wires... So that means I will need to purchase more of these to replace the ones I cannot get wire back into. Not the best design, but still one of the best plugs I have found on Amazon.
