Great for Collectors: A rare and sought-after succulent, Dorstenia Foetida is ideal for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection with something truly distinctive.
Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. You can create your own by mixing equal parts potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or pumice to ensure proper drainage.
Sowing the Seeds:
Gently press the seeds onto the surface of the soil. Do not bury them deeply, as Dorstenia seeds need light to germinate. A light dusting of fine sand or perlite can help hold the seeds in place without blocking sunlight.
Watering:
Mist the soil lightly with water using a spray bottle. Keep the surface slightly moist (but not waterlogged) throughout the germination period. Cover the pot with a clear plastic dome or plastic wrap to maintain higher humidity levels.
Light and Temperature:
Place the seed tray or pot in a warm spot with bright, indirect light. Ideal temperatures are between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Avoid direct midday sun that can scorch tender seedlings.
Germination Time:
With proper care, you can expect germination within 2-4 weeks. Be patient and continue to maintain consistent moisture and warmth.
Care Instructions After Germination:
Watering:
Once seedlings emerge, continue to keep the soil slightly moist but allow the top layer to dry between waterings. Reduce humidity by gradually removing any cover or dome over a week.
Light Requirements:
Provide bright, indirect light. A south or east-facing window works well, but shield from harsh midday sun. If the plant begins to stretch or lose color, increase the light level.
Fertilizing:
Feed seedlings with a half-strength, balanced liquid fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Repotting:
As the seedlings grow, gently transplant them into individual pots with fresh succulent mix. Dorstenia Foetida prefers being slightly root-bound, so choose a pot just slightly larger than the root system.
