LAV 23877\u003c\/strong\u003e is a rare and fascinating plant, prized for its unique characteristics and intriguing appearance. It is particularly sought after by exotic plant collectors for its unusual aesthetics and rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dorstenia sp. nov. LAV 23877 is native to the arid regions of Yemen, where it grows in rocky, well-drained conditions. This species is a relatively recent discovery and has not yet been formally scientifically described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowth:\u003c\/strong\u003e This plant exhibits slow to moderate growth, developing a caudex (swollen trunk) that stores water to survive in dry conditions. The caudex is often low and thick, with leaves arranged in a rosette that emerge directly from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Like other Dorstenia, this species produces disc-shaped inflorescences called hypanthodiums, which are particularly distinctive. The flowers can vary in color, but are often inconspicuous and add to the plant's exotic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e It prefers bright but indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but it is important to protect it from the most intense rays to prevent its leaves from burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to respect the dormant period. As with most caudiciforms, overly wet soil can lead to caudex rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of succulent potting soil and perlite and pumice, to ensure good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no specific documentation on the toxicity of this particular species. However, as a precaution, it is recommended to handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/serreslavoie.com\/collections\/terreau-maison\/products\/terreau-a-succulentes\"\u003eOur homemade potting soil for succulents\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Plantearium","offers":[{"title":"Not rooted","offer_id":41632210649149,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9223\/5821\/files\/1DSC_2205.jpg?v=1723668715"}],"url":"https:\/\/serreslavoie.com\/en\/collections\/voir-tout-caudex.oembed?page=6","provider":"Serres Lavoie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
