Adromischus marianae Little Spheroid, also known as Adromischus Little Spheroid, is a cultivar of the succulent plant Adromischus marianiae native to South Africa. The name 'Little Spheroid' refers to the shape and size of the leaves and the plant itself. The name was first published in 1998 in the book "The Cactus File Handbook 3: Adromischus" by John Pilbeam, Chris Rodgerson and Derek Tribble.
This plant is characterised by its attractive, plump, grey-green to brownish-grey leaves, which are covered in a waxy coating, giving them a glossy appearance. The leaves are spirally arranged and grow up to 3 cm long. Adromischus has short branches and reaches a height of up to 5 cm. It is a small, branched succulent plant with tubular, pale pink flowers.
Adromischus can easily be propagated from a single leaf. This succulent does not require fertiliser. This small and slow-growing succulent is particularly pleasing with its plump leaves. These apparent tufts give the plant a cute appearance and colour it in a variety of colours, from grey-green to grey-brown.
