potting mix for Dorstenia ?

Post by mmcavall »

I just received a Dorstenia foetida bare root. What would be the right potting mix for this plant? And what about sun light?
Thanks in advance for any advices.

I use the same mix I use for my non-cactus succulents, 40%garden soil 20%coco coir 40%pumice.
In my case they don't seem to need a great deal of sunlight to thrive, mine only gets bright indirect light with no adverse effects.

I use a very similar mix. Mine get some afternoon sun, and are almost always in flower.
