An art piece come to life, found only on the remote island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean. While its details have a vibe reminiscent of a Pachypodium, its unique look—delicate narrow leaves spreading out in a lush clump atop a plump, rounded caudex, like a miniature palm-lined beach—feels wonderfully tropical, like a tiny resort getaway. This is a flagship member of the Dorstenia genus, often celebrated as the "King of Dorstenia." Unlike the sweetness of Adenium or the sculptural curves of Pelargonium, it offers a refreshing, airy charm all its own. It's solid and weighty, yet somehow still cheerful. This perfect balance brings a whole new landscape to your room.

The pictures above are of the damaged seeds. I purchased also Dorstenia Gigas seeds that were actually D.Lavranii seeds, and also purchased Adenia Spinosa seeds that were in fact Elephantorrhiza seeds. This company is a rip off!
@obesadabesa 手前のやつ超見たいのに、、 パキぽの後ろは、ガジュマルかな、、 パキポ真ん中伸びてていいなー。買った時から切られてて伸びることなさそう、、 そして、ドルステニア ギガスか、オペルクリカリア・パキプスのどちらか、挑戦してみることに決めました実生苗で
@sara_s_2020 This tree puts giga in its name Dorstenia gigas.
Dorstenia gigas 今年発芽したチビッコを炎天下に放置しちゃったら当然瀕死状態で萎れてた… 痛恨のミス…現在室内で静養中。生命力に期待するしかない。 ゴメンよ、ギガス… #DorsteniaGigas #ドルステニアギガス
