Dorstenia gigas seeds for sale
Discover the exceptional Dorstenia gigas seeds for sale, a rare and captivating succulent native to the isolated Socotra Island, Yemen 17. This species, belonging to the Moraceae family, is highly prized for its grotesquely swollen caudex trunk and intricate, coral-like branching, which can reach up to 2–5 meters in height in its natural habitat 7. The plant features small, fleshy leaves and produces unique disc-shaped inflorescences (hypanthodium) that are greenish-brown and often described as “flower cakes” 7. These structural adaptations allow it to thrive in arid, rocky environments, making it a drought-tolerant gem for collectors and bonsai enthusiasts 4.
Ideal for succulent aficionados and caudex collectors, Dorstenia gigas requires well-draining soil (e.g., a cactus mix with perlite or sand) and prefers full sun to partial shade 4. Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry completely between sessions, and reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot 4. Fresh seeds germinate best at temperatures of 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F), though patience is essential as germination can take weeks to months 7.
⚠️ Note: This plant is non-toxic and safe for households with children and pets 4.
Each seed order includes a detailed germination guide. Due to its endangered habitat and rarity, cultivating Dorstenia gigas from seeds supports ethical conservation efforts 1.
