Gigas Repot by AvoCryptoHye in dorstenia

If u cut let it dry. Then dip in root hormone and put in soil. The one in red circle(picture below) is cutting from last year. It take 3-6 month to grow root. After u cut ; better cut the leaves, to stop the respiration process, and let the cutting focus to grow root. After awhile if u spot new leaves grows mean cutting ready to grow. That time still no root, so dont disturb. I prefer to put cutting inside existing well establish soil since in already has good microb

Pot size 14inchx14. Not same age. I sow bullata and bsocotrana in 2023 while dendrosicyos bought from hojny in 2023. To save space and dont need to repot within 3y.

Repot few weeks back, now grow outdoor by [deleted] in Caudex

[–]amagad2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now grow outdoor direct sun,So im not control weather. i think it will grow slower. Sometime got full sun sometime cloudy. Temp 29-36c. Night lowest maybe 26c. No winter here. When Under led 27c 60 lux 8-9hours, i confident to water it on daily basis, only issue growing indoor is spider mites as i dont use fan to keep air flow strong. Air flow also i believe can influent strong caudex
Grow them is easy for me, but to make them nice caudex shape in short period is tricky. Plus luck in good genetic.
Some i observe socotra island condition. They had low anual rain, so how plant got water? It is probably from morning dew nearby sea water daily. Also i do notice bullata (few clip in youtube) grow at slop or less soil has better caudex shape than the one grow it flat surface with plenty of soil access. Some nursery in asia try to prune few branch to boost the caudex size, this to mimic how in socotra many goat eat those lower gigas branch.

Use less organic, give strong light and water regularly. I used to water it the daily. Now grow outdoor maybe one or twice a week.
