Dorsteinia cf. horwoodii An unusual fleshy caudiciform relative of figs. The stems are upright and branch in time. Leaves are green with heavily scalloped margins. The flowers (actually inflorescence) are a strange multi lobed shape. Easy to grow. Likes good light but not full sun. It is more tropical than the average succulent so it doesn't like to dry out fully and likes some warmth in the winter.
I am a little unsure of the exact identity of this plant. It came from a seed batch that is supposed to be D. horwoodii, and many plants in this batch are unquestionably D. horwoodii. However, this one has less scalloped leaves than I'm used to for D. horwoodii, but more than typical D. foetida. So I suspect it may be a cross between D. horwoodii and D. foetida. I've priced it between what I'm asking for my D. foetida and my pure D. horwoodii listings.
You will receive the plant shown in the last two images. Plant shown in a 3.5" pot.
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
