Adromischus rupicola is naturally found in South Africa growing on the mountains south of Little Karoo on rocky ridges and the interior valleys that have summer rainfall. 

It prefers a well-drained gritty sandy moderately fertile soil in a partially shaded open position with low humidity and his drought tolerant and mildly frost resistant.

The Calico Hearts Plant is grown for its attractive foliage and its flowers. It is planted in small rockeries or cactus gardens as a specimen and is commonly cultivated as a potted plant for indoors. 

It is suitable for mountainous and the coastal regions and establishes in 2-4 years and has long lived.  Under cultivation it has sparse branching habit and in time it will develop a massive caudex and the soil should be allowed to dry out between watering. ID 2062
