Dorstenia contrajaerva
Contra Heirba
Description
Dorstenia contrajaerva is a fascinating plant from the Moraceae family, known for its unusual, flat, disc-shaped inflorescences. These inflorescences, which resemble small green saucers, are the defining characteristic of the species. The plant has a distinctive, somewhat succulent appearance, with large, textured leaves that have toothed margins. It's native to Central and South America, where it grows in shaded, humid environments. Dorstenia contrajaerva is a relatively easy plant to grow indoors. Provide bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but reduce watering during dormancy. The strange flowers are really clusters of tiny flowers, and they rely on insects for pollination.
