Dorstenia foetida is a fascinating and highly collectible succulent that’s sure to capture attention with its unusual form. Native to parts of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, this member of the fig family (Moraceae) is admired by plant enthusiasts for its quirky, alien-like appearance and ease of care. Its thick, trunk-like stem—often compared to a miniature baobab—stores water and supports a flush of glossy green leaves, making it both resilient and ornamental.
 
One of the most striking features of Dorstenia foetida is its curious flowering habit. Instead of producing typical blooms, it displays star-shaped inflorescences known as hypanthodia, which resemble tiny, otherworldly discs dotted with small florets. These unique flowers give the plant an almost sculptural quality, making it a true conversation piece in any collection.
 
Well-suited to bright indoor spaces or sheltered outdoor environments in warm climates (heated greenhouse in winter UK), Dorstenia foetida thrives with minimal care. It prefers a free-draining soil mix and moderate watering, making it a great choice for succulent lovers of all experience levels. With time, it develops a strong, characterful caudex, enhancing its bonsai-like appeal.
 
Whether you’re an avid collector of rare succulents or simply seeking a plant with personality, Dorstenia foetida offers a captivating blend of resilience, beauty, and intrigue. Its compact size and distinctive look make it an ideal addition to windowsills, succulent displays, or exotic plant collections.
