Welwitschia mirabilis B93-553 (1), our single leaf specimen, has started to lean over due to the massive weight of the fused leaves. Also, it has pushed out a peduncle again on the side of the crown which is always interesting to see!
Caralluma acutangula.
Aristolochia gigantea.
Here's the 6 month transformation of this Welwitschia!
You'll see the reel video as a story when it got repotted as a story for today.
Sowed in 2019 in a dirty pumice mix, it stopped pushing out growth. It was decided to do a bareroot repot to exclusively pumice (3/16") and use a very deep pot.
Since Mid December 2025, it has pushed out over 6 inches of growth, and a peduncle has started to emerge! And roots coming out from the bottom. This will most likely be it's forever pot.
