- (CC) Plant Profile: Dorstenia bahiensis - a native to eastern Brazil rainforests. This is a THIRSTY plant in the Ficus family (Moraceae) with really nice shiny leaves and a very peculiar flower.
Care tips: I water mine about 2x a week, and it receives a decent amount of bright indirect sun in a south-facing window but it would still be happy with less light. The soil is a mix of organic and drainage materials (about 70%/40%). I give it a diluted and balanced houseplant fertilizer every other month or so, but should probably feed it monthly.

Neat little weirdo flowers, I love it! 💚
The flowers are so wild!!! The leaves are like nothing else I have in my own collection. I’m sitting here thinking about what I have and none of them have shiny leaves…what a beauty
Thanks for watching chica!

Hi there! So happy to find this video, there are not too many that talk about this plant. I have a Dorstenia Elata, I believe, that was gifted to me. It was in a very deep plastic pot so i decided to re pot it to show that beautiful and weird trunk. Long story short its been about three months and she is still not happy. The original leaves have not perk up like they were, however there are small new leaves forming. I am not sure what the problem is. She is two feet from a south facing window, with fan ventilation 8-10 hours. The new pot is smaller and I used cactus soil. When I repotted I noticed the roots were long and plenty but I still stuck them in the pot. Maybe is that there is not enough room for the roots? I water it once a week, maybe is not enough? I will appreciate all your advice! Thanks and sorry for the long message.
Hmmm... I would try watering it more since it's in cactus soil if you're sure it's either elata or bahiensis. It's a good sign new leaves are forming though! Maybe it just needed some time to settle into its new pot. Why are you using a fan?
@@SucsForYou Hi, I have about 100 plants in that room. It faces the Florida south sun so it can get warm. I use the fan to keep the air flow and I read that plants love to receive the soft breeze. Anyhow, I checked her yesterday and I decided to repotted her to a bigger pot. I think it is too small and she is struggling. The new small leaves fell off too!
@@cucar8363 cool cool - good reasons to use a fan. Hopefully repotting does the job!
