Adromischus cristatus, also known as the Crinkle Leaf Plant, is a compact, quirky succulent native to South Africa. Its fleshy green leaves have distinctly wavy, crimped edges — like ruffled ribbons — and grow in tight, rosette-like clumps. This charming little plant thrives in bright light and brings a sculptural, textural element to succulent displays or windowsills.
